    I was using the Original image+GP4.2, then I moved to the Merlin image, but after a while I noticed that there was something different in the sharpness and colors of the picture on the screen, so I wanted to make sure that the Enigma was updated to the latest official update on 29-10-2021, so I replaced Merlin feed with the Original feed and searched to see if there were updates available or not. I found that there are over 400 updates available! It seems that Merlin image is not updated to the latest official Enigma. So I went back to the Original image as the picture quality and colors on the screen are better.

    I apologize for this. I thought the question was in general and not related to dm920.


    This was done on a DM520. I replaced the Merlin feed with the original feed and wrote these commands via telnet:

    Code
    apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates
apt-get install curl

    Then I searched for updates and found that Merlin image does not have the latest official updates 29-10-2021.


    When I returned to the original image, I found that the image did not respond to the original feed!, I discovered that Dream Company had changed HTTP to HTTPS, so I downloaded three add-ons from original feed and installed them manually and restarted the device, not the enigma.

    Code
    1- libcurl4_7.47.1-r0.5_mipsel.deb
2- apt-transport-https_1.0.10.1-r0.5_mipsel.deb
3- ca-certificates_20211017-r0.1_all.deb

    And the original feed was connected again. :smiling face with sunglasses:

    Guys, as for the best image, I will say this - there is no perfect image, each image is good in its own way, and each has its pros and cons, so I use multiloading to take full advantage of the receiver's capabilities.And it's not worth "every frog praising his swamp.

    And with the help of multiloading, I can also check the operation of images that are not compiled for 900/920 models. for example, open spa...

    "Good luck to everyone!!! :rasta:

    DVB-T2 via USB tuner? I'm trying some images in which a DVB-T2 USB tuner works well, specifically an Xbox One tuner with USB-DIB0700 drivers, but at the moment the tuner does not appear in any of them even though the images include the appropriate drivers.
