Rudream

Found this image from Rudream team from Russia. In their initial release it is more media oriented than as a sat scanner since it does not have that capability. As a matter of fact, it does not even have a pre-installed sat xml file. But after loading a file, it recognized all the sat tuners and it played the channels without problems. I think they are trying to emulate an X box type of format.

It does have some more wizards than other images. Upon boot it will do the normal setup routines plus it will ask to initialize your hard drive or usb stick to setup a swap file. It also wants to scan your network for other receivers and drives in order to add them all to the Home Media program. I passed on the hard drive and usb initialization but opted for a swap file on the usb stick. At first I thought I had wiped out the usb stick, but to my relief everything was fine on the usb multi-boot stick after a reboot.

It also tried scanning my DTV receiver, but I ended the scan because it was taking too long.

If this team can incorporate the sat functions in future releases, I think they will have a very competitive packge.
