Its better than it was but its still a bit soft.
On par with Dreambox 800HD picture quality in my opinion .
The picture on my Aliens is much sharper ,especially SD .
Receiver arrived this morning.
It looks like new , and was in its original box, pristine condition.
Many thanks Scooterbuk for sending it to me as I am in Ireland .:thumb:
Looking forward to playing around with it later this week.
I tried an online update and now the box has no tuner installed and some of the plugins are corrupted.
Seems the last 2 nightly releases have no tuners installed (dvbs) so online update is not recommended.
Fresh flash is ok.
For people having trouble flashing this image you can try this re-packed version.
When I get some time, I will post the script I use to repack backup images so they are more like the original developer's e2jffs.img files.
Cheers Joe,much obliged.
That script would be very handy.
all i can say is that its fast, picture is a bit blurry to what im used to (alien2) doesnt seem sharp to me but then im supposed im spoiled with the picture on the alien2
SD picture quality is poor compared to the Aliens from my usage too Paul ,some of the channels look like web streams .
Its a real pity as Arm chipsets are supposed to be good at video processing ,better than Mips .
The Sd picture quality could be a bit better on Enigma 2 ,hopefully it can be improved as ARM chipsets are good at video processing compared to Mips.
I notice that the flash memory on the image isn't the largest ,~30Mb free .
Perhaps that can be enlarged on further builds ?
Crossepg works fine and is very fast .
ABM gives a blue screen but thats to be expected ,its designed for a Mips chipset.
Oscam runs nicely and the webif is slick .
Its very impressive for a beta image.
Wow its bloody fast at booting and really quick in operation,no lag at all.
This could be a game changer.
you want me to flash it with an image for you? it has opebATV at the moment
Thats fine m8, Openatv is perfect. :cool:
Cheers Scooterbuk
Paypal funds sent :cool:
I'll take it for £150 m8
Clones
+Clones price is usually very much cheaper - Sometimes hardware can be a failure
+Many forums and teams support them - Warranty is not always honoured
Dont forget that clones can also be bricked by timebombs and similar tactics by original manufacturers.
I've bought clones in the past ,Dm500 ,Dm600 and Dm800 and they are still going strong.
I bought them because they were a fraction of the price of an official receiver and Dream Multimedia's pricing is ludicrous.
Would I buy a clone as a receiver nowadays ?
I dont think so .
As others have said the price of original receivers is much more reasonable now and you can get a lot of bang for your buck.
You get a warranty and piece of mind that the hardware will last and you dont have to worry about patching images or time bombs rendering your receiver a doorstep.
been offered a duo clone but im not sure i want to go that route is kodi direct any good as i said i have a duo 2
The Xpeed LX2 is a much better receiver than the Duo .
Faster and newer processor,more Ram,bigger Flash ,and a better picture too .
Its excellent value.
Won't Flash for me.
Goes through motions, but eventually 'U Ld' just stays solid on front of box.
Any ideas?
I suspect that you are using the method here to upgrade E2,which doesnt work properly.

Use the Spark plugin because that's the best method by far
So its an Arm based processor
I wonder will the same people that were up in arms about Enigma 2 being patched to run on the SH4 platform have similar views about Enigma 2 having to be be patched to run on the Arm platform .
I thought about this for a minute but then thought again - no I really do want front panel buttons, or else we will have the wife screaming she can't change channel and where is the bleeding remote gone?
You could always just buy a few extra spare remotes and have them lying around the place ?
Just to add that I always found the Cccam214 plugin in Spark to be very flaky.
Scrambled channel often came up and I'd have to restart the plugin.
The oscam plugin runs much much better .

been using this image for a few days now,i am quite happy to keep it.But i am not sure about your auto bouquets settings i have tried to use default but i can not seem to delete yours.Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated .......thanks in advance.
The settings I have for Autobouquets are pretty default.
If you want to change them open Autobouquets and press the menu button to edit ,then the green button to save.
Then restart the receiver and rerun Autobouquets.
I think Skins are in Menu-Setup-System
