Email from Gigablue

[marty]

This morning I sent an email to Gigablue and TBH I wasn't expecting a reply other than some automated BS
To my suprise they answerd the email within 5 mins

When will the next drivers be available for the Quad?
Do you know when there will be a fix to allow recording of two encrypted channels?

Thanks

Marty

Hi Marty,

begiining next week, all engineers will come together and fix within couple of weeks all Bugs about QUAD modell. The mentioned BUG is one of our prios.

I was very happy someone took the time to actually type a reply

So there you have it, should hopfully be sorted within the next few weeks

Drivers require a flash or will they be directly available through an opkg update/upgrade procedure?

When the drivers are available you will have two choices,

1. install the drivers manually your self
2. wait until we introduce the drivers into the image and do a update that way.

[Rob van der Does]

But be aware that sometimes a new image-structure is needed for new drivers.

I hope they update the kernel soon aswell

Hope to fix the blurred GUI on reboot. Every time I reboot I have harder time (more reboots or more changing 1080 to 720 and back in settings) to get chrisp GUI.

Doesn't seem so bad after the latest update. I can change it without rebooting now

What does the update has to do with it? It is a driver problem ;-)

Before VIX was released I was using OPENMIPS, that too had a blurred GUI and just changing resolution in setup fixed it.
In VIX you would have to reboot (and I agree with you, as time went on it took more reboots and was getting very random and unpredictable)

BUT!!!! after the last batch of updates a blurred GUI can be fixed without rebooting (for me with VIX)

[Likvid]

A reason for using VIX then.

no news for the new drivers/kernel?

something happened to my quad last night, TUNER A refuses to pick any sat signal up now, i have to set a recording on tuner A so i can move onto tuner b to get a picture., so atm ive had to loop tuner a through tuner b, need to have a closer look tonight.
the onboard tuners are fixed arent they? i havent opened the unit at all yet.

[marty]

Tuners are fixed (there are pics of inside the box posted up somewhere)
Both my tuners are working perfectly (VIX) just tested using PIP
