GIGABLUE UHD QUAD 4K, VU+ DUO 4K SE, ZGEMMA H7S, VU+ UNO 4K SE
Triax 1.1m Powered by TM2600, Fixed 28.2 Zone 2 dish with GT-SAT Unicable
Read some specultation it was from the same manufacture that makes the VU+.
Should the color LCD do red colors? Picons with red is shown as blue. And yellow also seems blueish.
Tried a different image that fixed the color issue.
So how is the Gigablue Quad so far? Worth the money or should I wait for the Duo2?
Still early days to conclude anything. But I would advise waiting for some driver updates unless you absolute need it right now. There is much yet to be fixed in my opinion.
The very positive is the speed. It is ultra fast navigating the menus and fast zapping. Definitely the fastest E2 I have ever tried.
PIP works with fine with FTA HD channels.
The negative:
Main issue for me is Image quality. Think it is a issue in the drivers that I hope they will fix soon. It is unnatural sharp but adjusting sharpness does not help then it becomes very fuzzy.
No recording of encrypted channels on 2 different transponders. The same for PIP only one can be decrypted. Again driver issue that should be fixed soon.
Common Interface decoding also does not seem to work yet only Softcam.
Recording from deep standby mode does not seem to work yet.
No HbbTV/Gigabit Network support yet as claimed in the item description on various shops.

I read this on Amazon de
Habe den Quad getestet. Auch im Vergleich zu meinem CT ET 9000 der mit derselben Software arbeitet
tested the Quad against CT ET 9000 with the same Image
Positiv : Advantage
Schnelle Bootzeit ca 45 Sek.,schnelles zappen, schönes Display. Möglichkeit bis zu 4 Tuner zu verwenden.
Quick boot about 45secs, nice display, possibility to use 4 tuners
Intere und externe Festplatten laufen einwandfrei. Internal and external Hard drive work faultlessly
Tuner haben starken Empfang, gutes Signal, auf Astra wurden über 1600 Sender gefunden.
Shows a strong signal on Astra, over 1600 programmes found
Die Box bleib obwohl sie ohne Lüfter ist kühl. Even without a fan the box runs cool.
Jetzt das leider Negative: disadvanges
Bildqualität bei SD ist schlecht, verpixelt und Senderlogos zittern und wabern. picture quality on SD, bad pixel, icons not steady
Auch bei HD Sendern wird eingeblendete Schrift und Logos undeutlich dargestellt. On HD front and logos faded
Das ist bei meinem ET9000 wesentlich besser. It is much better on the ET9000
Timer werden aus dem Deepstandby nicht gemacht.HDMI CEC Steuerung geht nichtŽ.
Timer on deepstandby did not work
Man kann nicht einen verschlüsselten Sender aufnehmen und einen anderen sehen, es kommt dann kein Bild.
you can't record an encrypted programme and watch another encrypted programme, there is no picture
Falls diese Punkte per Firmwareupdate gelöst werden, ist der Receiver top. If the update software fixes these problems, the box will be tops
Aber so nicht, meiner ging zurück. If not, mine will be going back
According to Broadcom the chipset has only MII ethernet embedded, so that's 10/100Mbit/s, seeOn the manufacturer's website however Gb-lan is (still) announced, seeCode:http://www.broadcom.com/products/Satellite/Satellite-Set-Top-Box-Solutions/BCM7356
And VU+ uses the same chipset in the Solo2 and has correctly announced it as 10/100Mbit/s-LAN.Code:http://gigablue.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=75&Itemid=37&lang=en

To be fair to GB they have been very reliable with the previous 3 models and have very regular driver / bootloader support releases.
My posts contain my own personal thoughts and opinions, they do not represent those of any organisation or group but my own.
If you don't like what I post, Don't read it.
SIMPLES.
Hopefully duo2 won't have these issues when it released. I do think most of the issues can be sorted when drivers are released for this chipset.
Only gigabit LAN seems like false advertising, or will it change with new drivers?
Guy's I'm currently testing with ViX tonight tomorrow, will post more info tomorrow. Not all bad

I don't think its a deliberate attempt.
The chipset is capable of 10/100 so GB is not going to be possiable and as other boxes are using same chip we are stuck with 10/100 for the time being.
