  • The world is literally your oyster with regards to images, hence why some of use enjoy swapping out the images so often. You will know OpenAtv, Openvix, why not try OpenBH, then you have Pure2, Openspa, Openpli, Egami, plus many more. All the images give Suttle differences, some have some great graphics, some have some really nice epg. Others seem to open channels faster. Take a back up of your current image onto a hdd or usb so it can be restored easily and try the images out to see which one you like.

  • Taste is personal. I have tried almost all the images for various devices, from Dreambox to the latest one I have, an SF8008. I always come back to using Openpli. Today I am using version 8.3 from August because they have been modifying so many things that, instead of improving, they are worsening some things that are important to me. For example, scanning, whether blind or simple scanning, shows the names of the services as TP names, such as 12660, instead of their actual names, such as 77w or 121w, for example, and there should be more. You need to spend some time to find the one you like best.
