Thinking of a upgrading my xtrend linux box

g_p_t · Sep 30th 2013

I currenty own a, Xtrend ET5000, would like to upgrade to something faster, The VU solo 2 looks good but its a lot of money, Xtrend ET 6500 HD looks like good value for money with a 1.1 ghz processor and plenty of memory etc. Any one had any experience with this box ?

ET6500 has the same CPU as the ET5000, you will not gain any speed. See wiki here http://wiki.et-view-support.co…e_%C3%9Cbersicht_Hardware

If you can afford the Solo2, I'd seriously consider the GB Quad @ £269 GiGaBlue HD QUAD Linux Enigma 2 HD PVR Satellite Receiver 2x DVB-S/S2 + 2x Plug & Play Tuner Slots

Thanks for that link but (i got my 5000 from you :-))

here it shows 1100 dmips not 400 so im a bit confused.

is there any reason why you stopped selling the ex-trend's ?

I think they're using 'Dmips' to baffle customers. See here Multiformat HD Digital Video/Audio SoC with DVR and 3D Graphics - BCM7413 | Broadcom

Can't decide between an Android TV Box and an Enigma2 receiver?
