New X2 Premium V

[ViP3R]

Looks like X2 is ready with a new box. I was wondering if they were dead..lol I don't see it listed for sale yet but I would expect it to be a reasonable price going on past boxes.

All the specs are on the x2 site. [Only registered and activated users can see links]

Finally, i also though they were dead! This is great!

[cpr43]

Went thru the specs. Ohh boy another Ali3510! Looks like this is going forward to IPTV with pay for view IPTV server. All others specs are the same as we already have. No idea why! As mention before future release should think real hard on HEVC H.265 decoding and maybe 4:2:2. We keep seeing more and more TPs moving to HEVC. Real soon there will be a lot.

[el bandido]

Cannot move to HEVC H.265 until the new chips are installed in the receivers. You can expect several new HEVC H.265 receivers within 1 year.

[cpr43]

Well maybe thats what they are hitting for with a new release: 1 Year!

[el bandido]

Another thing about 4:2:2

Broadcom and most other chip manufacturers consider 4:2:2 to be only for professional use. But that fact does not stop the North American FTA clowns from saying that their brand new receiver may even do 4:2:2. Almost always these clowns claim that their new closed source toy will do 4:2:2....Eventually.

Now you know why fridge disappear! Lol

Too high of a price for me. I can get an opensource linux E2 box with blindscan for about the same money. Look for the price on the Premium V to drop.

[madmadworld]

At that price for so little it Better do 422...lol

[cpr43]

Thanks! Waiting fir your review!!

[madmadworld]

Playing with it.
not as hot running as the mini, yet same size.
Different menu set up than the x2 - 2 ...4 & mini never had a 3.
blind scan has a running clock it goes on twice getting tp's then channels.. new to me. takes about 3 minutes total.
mostly/only use my system for live events on the weekends mostly so it will take me awhile to see how it plays those hi-bit feeds.
no 422 lol

If you need a box or just like trying out new ones go for it while it's still cheap as we know how that goes.

[madmadworld]

Well it needs a sw update. finds tp that are not there. 95 cband real 4000 h 30000 finds that plus 4014 h 30000. lol yet not every time.

then it misses others gets them on another try. needs work just erratic

Thanks for the review madmadworld. Have you gotten any further with this box? Any new firmware or anything?
