Is this how Gigablue gives support to loyal customers?

[tinos]

Are we responsible? I guess I am responsible for buying a buggy GB Quad, but guess Gigablue and its "official" support forum is responsible for the device! I am a beta tester instead of being helped or praised for my free help you ignore my valid concerns with a product that comes with several features that are missing:

Where is the Gigabit Ethernet?
Where is the Webbrowser?
Where is the Hbbtv support?
Where is the picture quality?

Come on... be more respectful to your customers and treat us like paying and loyal customers like we are... I am considering now to never buy Gigablue again... this was my first!

Should I return product to shop as there is no support what so ever and product features are all lies?

Please open again and be more careful how you call your customers!

Soooo da hier weiter munter gepostet wird als ob es ein Diskussionsthread ist und auch nicht einheitlich die Sprache eingehalten wird, genauso manche meinen Sie müssten irgendwelche Tips posten obwohl klipp und klar im ersten Posting steht was zu beachten ist, mache ich diesen Thread nun zu. So können die Entwickler doch niemals in Ruhe die Bugs lesen wenn ihr alles voll müllt !! Und ich möchte auch keine Beschwerden hören, da seid ihr nun wirklich selber schuld !


CLOSED !!

I just went through a number of threads on that forum, and I must say: glad I don't have a GB........
OK, that doesn't help you of course. It seems to me that GB fell in the usual trap of a manufacturer trying to maintain a user-forum: the two just don't match.

Very sad state of affair's over on there site now every thing was looking very good on there when they only had the 800 range to look after since the quad has come out it seems to have gone to a bag of pants for end users

Just to let users know, more drivers are due this week.

OK, but that doesn't make up for the attitude they show on their forum.

[bassethound]

I was more on about how they interact with end users on the site rather than the lack of new drivers

[XabiX]

I agree with what you guys say. I am happy with the GB quad but I don't like their lack of support.
Do we have now English manuals available?

I asked then when we could expect to have drivers for kernel 3.x and I never had a reply.

[XabiX]

It's nice to know that new drivers are coming but it would be much better to know what would be fixed in those drivers OTW they can just increase the driver version and say new drivers are available
hopefully we get a kind of release note so we can see what enhancements are coming.

Agree... I bought the Quad because I saw some happy customers on 800s... but with the Quad... it just doesn't make sense to post anything... they ignore, don't reply or even keep the most basic list of open bugs and some kind of schedule to fix them.

Some of the features missing the Solo2 with same chipset already has support for them... kernel 3.x, Browser, hbbtv, multimedia, gigabit... I would imagine the Quad with more time on market should already include those, at least it had more time to fix them... unless their support is bad. And it looks like it! I hope they act fast and fix issues with customer communication... I don't care about drivers anymore... unless to sell the receiver at a fair price. I really like the quad better than solo2 because of some features like front lcd and 4x tuners. But if support is that bad I will need to change soon...

[tinos]

Some more abuse... wow poor XabiX... as a matter of fact only reason I still keep my Quad is because of great openVIX image...

Guys, give them some time to fix these issues. VU+ DUO was in the same boat two years ago as its Quad now. "Sea" of bugs but they managed to fix them, it took them a while though. I remember that encrypted subtitles didnt work for some time and i actually didnt use my receiver for a few weeks because of that. I still have .ts files with problematic channels. And even after 2 years some bugs still havent been fixes or addressed and they are not responding to emails either. Sometimes we just need to be patient with new receivers, especially with those that have new chipset. Currently i am not happy with VU+ attitude and i am really not sure if Solo 2 is good investment. I would rather buy new Xtrend but they do not have receiver(s) with next gen chipsets.

[Rob van der Does]

This is not about bug-fixes.
This is about how they handle customers.


BTW: Wait for a big (positive) surprise regarding the Solo2

[tinos]

I love the fact that the Solo2 can use Network tuners...

But I only need 1 box and Quad with 4 tuners makes more sense if I ever get some extra DVB-S2 tuners...

erm so can any other E2 receiver with the correct image.

I have been streaming tuners between my uno / ultimo and duo for easily 6 months or longer using the remotestreamconvert plugin.

It is pointless to me saying some other product was just as bad. The point is they are trying to sell satellite receivers with major faults. If they did this with a TV or a car, it would be highlighted on Television by now. Their forum is also waste of time , because they never answer the majority of sensible concerns.
