mutant hd51

[steviesoitis]

will there be an open vix image available any time soon for the mutant hd51 4k ? Very close to buying one but there doesn't seem to be any images out there yet as its so new, just wondering if and when there will be openvix for this receiver?
seems a very decent spec for the price at only £239 or maybe i should just get something else?

... but I would wait until the drivers stabilise or perhaps until the "others" arrive in time for Xmas

the boxes are sold with OpenATV image pre installed

There's a number of bugs that need fixing before an image gets released. Also sept/October new stock due that will be cheaper. Batch on sale right now is 1st production batch.

never have and never will. Thanks for the vote mate but Phoenix is dead and won't be coming back.

Do these use Broadcom tuners or something else please? I haven't been able to find that info yet but did read a comment saying the SD quality was very good in comparison to an Xtrend box but it was Google translated so I may have the wrong end of the stick.

Mut@nt & Xtrend 4K receivers using the boring traditional tuners... hehe

Is the HD51 Samsung tuners then?

I found a picture suggesting the Xtrend 12000 is using Samsung add in tuners anyway:

Yeah. Defo worth keeping an eye on this receiver especially at that price and being 4K. Will see price drops on the other receivers to compete, hopefully.......

Spot on, running opentatv5.3. took a while to set it up as any thing I found relating to this box was in a different language

My (German) wife always tells me that it helps to improve my German

If there is anything specific you have learnt, it might be worth documenting for everyone?

not worth buying a 4K receiver yet no proper UK 24h tv channels yet

not buying either the hd51 or xtrend.
Granted the mutant is more realistically priced but both boxes lacks FBC tuners and HDMI input so would be a step back for me.

Waiting for the gigablue and spycat release.
But there is no way i am spending a penny more than 300 quid on a box. So that rules out VU and Dream lol

So far they all using the same chipset released in early 2015, there is already better CPU alternatives available.
