Support for ET5000 by VIX Team?

[kleinerjunge]

Hi!

PLI team already supports this box that will be available on the market in the next days. Will VIX Team support this receiver too? That would be GREAT!

well as there is no boxes to test on, it is impossible to be 100% certain that any image will run. as for will we support it, well we added support (theoretical) to include the et5000 before pli did, we just need a box to test it on.

also looking trough the pli git, i would not trust it at all, there using the firmware for the VFD from the ET9000 and not the correct firmware for the ET5000.

so use at your own risk.

the ViX team will not release an image to the public that has NOT been tested, we do not want you to brick your box, we just work like that.

So firmware for frontpanel is good, it takes nicely the FP software of ET5000 model

As far as we know the ET-5000 is xTrend only not Clarke-Tech. We have not been approached by xTrend to support the ET-5000 nor have the team been offered any hardware for development.

What does that mean? You don't support it? I already discovered the et5000 (xtrend) on a reliable german Online-Shop. Price: 269 Euro. Receiver is on stock.

It means, we have no boxes that we can test this with... Without having a box to test this with, we cannot be sure whether the image will work with the box, never mind whether it will be stable... Hence, we won't release an image. We want to ensure that our images work fine with the box, and that everything runs perfectly!

[kleinerjunge]

Ok, but what is the problem? That xTrend didn't provide for you a box for free? Or was it the problem that until now the box wasn't available?

well we are hobbiest and make these images as a hobbie and to make our veiwing of a receiver more pleasureable at the moment the team possesses Vu+ DUO's Vu+Solo's Clarke Tech ET-9000

so for us to have a pleasurable experience we made the image to help us and also at the same time help you

The Xtrend ET-5000 is a machine that none of us possess so we cannot build a image for it as extensive testing is needed before release

As for FREE boxes well just to make an image i dont see any of the team paying out money on a box to make an image unless its a box that one member is to buy anyway so it would be nice of Xtrend to make the offer of giving us a test box if they wish to see the VIX image supported on the box.

Otherwise ET-5000 and VIX will have to wait till one of the team members buys the box

Hope this clears up yr confusion

Do you expect us to every new receiver that comes along? You could offer to buy us hardware so that can fast track an image just for you

Theres no problem, we just dont have the hardware atm, simple. We cant just go out and buy every new receiver that comes along. If xTrent or anyone else want to donate receivers to us then we'll happily produce and image.

[Larry-G]

sadly some people dont realize the real cost it takes to produce a FREE image. especially when the boxes cost several hundred £££'s. no one here is asking for freebies but no one is going to rush out and buy one just so you can get your free image either.

Hi,I think,Xtrend Et5000 must first spread before starting other teams to build Images.Xtrend is a new brand and that takes time.
