There is a few left on ebay. There is also a 652hd model which is basically the same except it has a dvb-t tuner for Europe.

RRob is there any chance you could put some pictures of this boxes interface, Menu, tuning etc etc..

It looks like quite a nice looking receiver.

Edit: I was just looking for one on ebay and ended up buying an AB Prismcube Ruby instead

I like a challenge and its only £40 i've spent ($82 CAD / $60 US )

Here are some more pictures. I see you have the Prismcube Ruby. Isn't that box the next step up from this one?

This receiver will allow you to change the name of a channel and then it will stay the same when you run another scan. Although I believe it makes a duplicate channel. There are a couple of settings that I need to test to see how they work.

Its pure XBMC with 2 satellite tuners.

I know you can get them brand new for about $170 CAD from a store in Germany although you may have to enquire about shipping across the pond as they mostly deal within Europe. They were over $600 CAD when they were first released, although i think they were a bit of a flop as most people were expecting an operating system similar to Enigma 2. There were also a lot of early teathing problems with them.

They support MGCamd and OSCam emus so that makes them even more usable on the satellite side, although for me the main reason for purchase is for the move across the pond as to start with XBMC will be my main souce of viewing until i get either cable or satellite TV.

I know it was available in several guises from AB, Vu+, KASYS, and Openbox, same box made by Marusys with different branding depending on where in the world its sold. It should be an interesting bit of kit to play with.

I shall probably put the Blackhole Prismcube image on it and then take it from there.

I finally got mind all it has is eastern sats do you have to put in western sats manually are there a sat list some where.

[rrob311]

I haven't made one yet. I just added like 10 or so. My list is a work in Progress. I haven't touched the firmware either as it works pretty well as is.

do you know if you can use clarke tech editor to make a sat list and did you ever get wifi to working.
