    I'm finding that the OpenATV images are quite stable at this stage, but I'm hoping that WoS testing is going well and that we will see a VIX image soon

    Don't quote me on this as I have the Quad not the plus, but I think we're just waiting to get one final issue with the LCD resolved before pushing the image for release.

    I wouldn't rule out the new NANO²SUPER, very fast machine (fastest machine I've come across so far)
    If the Quad + is anything like the 800 SE/UE + you will be disappointed

    I got a little impatient and unsure about the Quad and was not sure weather to wait for Apolo to be released on the Quad so
    I have just ordered a Miraclebox Premium with Cable & Sat from the sponsors I should receive it on Tuesday
    I thought to hell with it the VU+Duo2 is to Expensive
    Solo se is not yet released
    Golden Interstar Xspeed LX3 not yet proven and no vix image for it Yet
    and I wanted a Box with cable capabilities and the Miraclebox Premium fitted the bill and was a good price so I bit the Bullet lol
    dose any one know what size Hard Drive it takes I presume it will be a 2.5"
    OK I will probably end up with a Quad Plus in the end but you never know the Miraclebox might just be good enough for me

    I am very dissapointed by the Quad Plus at this time. I get the same transfer speeds about 10MB/sek as I did with Quad ;-( Abd yes, I do have Gigabit LAN and cables and switches etc. I get about 50MB/sek from my NAS.

    Hi jerry, I'm surprised at that poor performance. I have had a Quad Plus since early April. My LAN is mixed 100/1000, but when I connect the Quad Plus to the Gigabit segment of my LAN and do file transfers via Filezilla to my Windows 7 machine (I do not have Samba installed, so need to use FTP) I can get up to 58MB/s from Quad Plus to Win 7 and almost 50MB/s from Win 7 to Quad Plus. This is through a TP-Link Gigabit switch and normal Cat5 patch cables. I wonder if your card is not syncing properly with your switch? You could try the following commands to check the link state if you telnet into the Quad Plus:

    Code:
    gbquadplus login: root
    root@gbquadplus:~# dmesg | grep -i duplex
    eth0: Link up, 1000 Mbps Full Duplex
    root@gbquadplus:~# ethtool eth0
    Settings for eth0:
            Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
            Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                                    100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
