    Two drivers issues I know of that have been confirmed and being worked on as I type this.

    1) Channel zapping needed a little speeding up, already fixed in drivers i'm testing.
    2) Switching from 720 skin to 1080 skin causing a kernel crash and needs a power cycle.

    Both the above will be fixed very soon, can't think of anything else

    That is a very fair point and I do agree that 4K is not necessary as of yet. VM in future perhaps..?
    Thing is, I'm upgrading my trusty old Edision OSmini. She served me very well but it only has one DVB-C tuner. As I have not seen an alternative receiver with 2 DVB-C tuners and 1 DVB-S2 in the same price bracket with the same CPU performance compared to the TM 4K Triple, I thought I might as well..
    So close to clicking that 'Checkout' button...

    Thanks for that Sicilian. Nice to see all the support for this new box. Would you happen to know if PIP (Picture-In-Picture) works OK please?

    everyone thanks for all the reply's, i made the assumption, incorrectly, that because no body had posted anything on the technomate that it maybe a bit of a let down, but what I'm understanding it appears to be a very solid, well priced box.

    once the driver issue is sorted, I'd imagine that it has to potential be the best of the 3 receivers mentioned in this trend.

    I've the gigablue quad myself the last 5 years, super solid box, love it and was just looking for something similar spec in today's market. For the spec and pricing of the TM-Twin-4k compared to the original pricing of the gigablue the TM-TWIN-4K is a steal.

    Thanks again for all the feedback, i think i will be making a purchase the end of this week when payday comes around.

    Not at all just interested to see if there is any improvement in SD since they have outlined the up-scaling capabilities.

    Yes there is improvement, but no 4K receiver will give you 4K out of SD.

    your right i missed red the blurb my bad

    Running Broadcom's latest CPU, the 1.7Ghz Dual Core lightning processor is 4x faster than the previous generation, making booting, channel changing and applications run a lot quicker! With the TM-TWIN 4K, you can watch satellite channels in glorious Ultra High-Definition (UHD) with HDR, 4K 2160p with Dolby Digital Plus to give you a superior audio experience. It’s also True 3D ready ensuring compatibility with future 3D formats. The latest USB 3.0 ports are up to 10x faster than the previous generation of USB 2.0, allowing you to read/write data a lot quicker.

    It is an Open Embedded satellite receiver which has access to plenty of Third Party applications giving you a lot more features and plugins than a standard satellite receiver. Want to know what's happening on another channel at the same time? Now you can. With HD Picture-In-Picture (PIP), you can view 2 HD channels at the same time! The Gigabit Ethernet Port allows data to transfer up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet Ports allowing faster streaming, file transfers, downloading/uploading...and more!

    Not leaving the Standard Definition (SD) channels behind, we’ve developed a built-in hardware 4K Upscaler to improve the picture quality of Standard Definition (SD) channels via the HDMI output, scaling the output to up to 4K resolution. You can use a USB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or an internal 2.5" Hard Disk Drive to record all your favourite channels, listen to your music and watch a slideshow of your photos. Supporting the latest SATA-3 connection allowing up to 6Gb/s, twice as fast as SATA-2, hard drive performance has never been this fast (requires SATA-3 compatible HDD)! The advanced CPU allows you to record up to 7 channels at the same time (on two different Transponders). Eco-friendly with 1W standby power consumption.
    All PM,s asking about c/s on cable will be ignored and reported to forum staff!
