Clarke-Tech ET 9000

[Sicilian]

The other thing to consider is build revisions. Remember when the Duo first come out and the recording from deep standby feature? This there where 3 or 4 hardware revisions.

so is anyone else planning on getting one? it does seem to be working great from what i have read on different forums. i took a chance on the vu+ duo in its first weeks out and have never looked back since so hoping this would be the same. with pli on board seems great but could do with more teams like vix to persuade a lot of people to add one to their collection

For me the most important aspect is the AV performance, if the ET9000 is superior in that respect, my VU+ will be going on ebay, will wait and see how much support it gets.

i got info that official forum is planned and coming soon

perhaps if we all email the manufacture and suggest he gives some to VIX?

PIP is working only on 1 HD and 1 SD channel , so this is tetsed.

audiosync plugin is pre-installed on the Original image, but have not tested that yet.

You forgot to test recording from deep standby
Will do that as soon as i have a another HDD as i do not waht to risk the HDD i have now, there is to much films and music to Initialize that, but later i will test with 1TB extern disk.

-->Also can you test radio part of this receiver. Does it work ok? This works perfect, teste on Thor and Sirius Radio channel and works as it should

-->If you use both tuners, please tell me if switching from A to B tuner works ok
I use both tuners , but it is only LOOP THROU becouise i have motor
The switch betwen them is smooth and i must say it is the first time i have so Smooth shwitch over.

-->Is there a black screen when you are switching from program x to program y. Yes there is black screen, but you can choose to have picture if you like

-->Can you test if recording works on these channels: Viasat Nature East FSS, Viasat History FSS, and Explorer/Spice FSS channels on 4.8E? I guess you have these channels. Yes i ahve them i have Baltic Viasat so yes i can test this as soon as the new HDD is added

-->can you make a video with zapping speed?

Sure i can, have allready made that but i do not use Youtube or any other net video streamin, but belive me it is fast realy fast, amazin fast in HD to HD channel, ot HD to SD or SD to SD, it is unbelivable fast


Could you confirm sub-titles, and multiple audio channels
Yes the Multi audio works perfect so does the Sub on the channels it self, on Recordings i have not tested that as i have NO HDD inside yet or extern.


Check if blindcan works, it looks like the box got Sharp tuners and not Broadcom.
I have not tested Blindscan but as i told before i got channels on both Thor and Sirius or on Eutelsat 16 east that i never got before, so it must be a good tuner

Also test sensitivity of the tuners compared to Vu+ if you still have it.
Well compare to VU+ SOLO then yes it seems beter tuner and more sensituve, but not that much that can be a killer

So we should all sell our Vu+ now for a ET9000?

Good thing about ET9000 is that it supposed to have blind scan tuners

Anyway the price is too high for now so just chill and relax and in 6 months time it will be lower.

[Likvid]

indeed

Maybe i will sell VU+ DUO, iam just waiting for more reviews. I hope this weekend we will get more info.

Did you see any other review than the Satpimps one?

No way, am I going to sell my Duo for a machine that at the moment only runs openpli, not even the latest native build of Engima2.

[Larry-G]

Go on then, go buy it then come and report back

lol i was gona say sumet like that but as always your a wee bit more diplomatic than I.

[Stanman]

Looks good but waaay to early to commit to buying it, like others have said, if there were more images than it would be a tempting proposition but not at the moment.

[Likvid]

If you pay

[OldSkulRide]

By the way, i found the ET9000 for €419,00 in Netherlands, i am tempted now.

Where. I only found it for 450 eur

[smaxy]

Well, that`s cheaper than the VU+Duo was on it`s release, perhaps may even drop below the current VU+Duo price in the months to come.
