We didn't want to release this new software because we found a recording issue. The engineers said it will be fixed by tomorrow

Todays update
The engineers are still working on the update as they've found an issue after testing.
They have promised to release an updated software next week but can't commit to a date other than it will be before the end of

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Unlikely to be a clone, the front panel design usually determines the layout behind, (button/display/USB port), and this PCB might have the detail of the factory code

without taking the lid off again here's a couple of my stock pics enlarged of the main pcb and tuner board showing some sort of info if any use.

FWIW, taking a pure guess - from the 1st pic, the small (tuner?) PCB is coded "20180705", so I'm thinking that that board was designed around June/July 2018, if that might give any sort of "chronological" clue to anything similar of about the same vintage??

In reality a lot of sat receivers are just "black boxes" that give no real indication of where they were designed/made.

Therefore, it is sometimes easier to deduce that when you know what is actually inside the box - and thus photos of the latter could prompt someone else's memories of what he/she has found inside their own boxes &/or what they have seen elsewhere on the web.

Since people seem to be doing some "forensic" work to try to work out where this thing came from, and when, do you have any further shotos of the inside of the box (notably an overall shot of the main PCB and what is on/around it)?

Yes, turning into a good box. Tuner sensitivity is excellent!

Yep, can confirm the tuner performance-very good.
Iv'e got a few requirements i'd like to see implemented still but they are more aimed at an enthusiast type user so might be classed as a non essential task for the code writers and put on the back burner

Agree, they certainly changed the sw to delete all transponders before a blind scan as you could only do one at a time before. Not a bad box at all now..
