What image do you use?

[woody]

ok im torn now between the dream elite and pli ,i put the dream one on my mates 800 hd and was really impressed with it ,i have the pli on but was wondering how stable the dream was??

[Zaxxman]

I have only had my box a couple of weeks and only had the dream elite image on it so far, but i have had no freezes or lock ups at all. I have put the media player and media centre add ins on it and now it plays MKVs perfectly (just need to get it to brouse my windows network and it will be perfect).Love the image and the epg is great they just need to make it initialise disks properly. Whats a panic button??

I have had my box now for just over a week as well and i have not tried any other image than DreamElite @ the moment because its running 100% in my opinion, no crashing and easy to navigate, all the addons and plugins you will ever need @ a push of the colored buttons, my only gripe would be the Hard Drive wake up time !(but im sure this is due to the hard drive spin-up from sleep ) oh and i seem to get some lip-sink issues on some HD channels (ITV is most common) other than that im happy for now.

I like the dream elite. Tried the PLI but could not get the plugins as easily.

You can watch TV on it!
I'll try that

I have tryed all 3 and they all work very well, for me the skins are very important especialy the multigraph EPG.

PLI is good and stable skins are a bit boring

DE stable all the bells and wistles but the team are very negative to skins not made by there own team. all the skins seem to have the same in my opinion poor epg layout.

VTI again works well but i have problems with playing movie files. I have found this image has the best skins so thats the one i use and my reasons why.

I use DE. Find this image stable and I love the layout. I also much prefer their skins. Only complaint is probs trying to search using media player. I have to use the numbered buttons to skip fixed amounts instead

[Stanman]

I've gone from DE to PLI, don't like the skin but its lot easier to navigate and like the cool feature of when you delete a movie it goes to trashcan rather than straight delete. Also the cam interface is not as nice but OK.

I also like it that you can record with one click from the EPG.

Now i prefer OpenPli, you get the latest image every day and the UI is fast and easy to navigate, i used DE but thought their UI is overworked for my taste.

Try and take regular backups. Some of the updates occaisionaly stop the receiver booting, you could even loose your satellites.xml

Ok update spent all day trying images and i must say the Pli image was nice BUT the EPG was not correct !! so im back to DreamElite 1.3.2 and im staying here for now it is the best in my opinion and the EPG is the dogs.
