Expert Opinion
We could have tested this
receiver for days on end; we
were always discovering new
and fascinating features or
capabilities in this little pow-
erhouse. The AZBox ME is
truly a super receiver.
Normal, everyday users
will be satisfied with every
aspect of this box: it comes
with a fast processor and the
modern firmware permits in-
tuitive operation. Three dif-
ferent firmware images can
be installed at the same time
so that it‘s easy to try out a
different image.
Even the most daring at-
tempts at flashing the mem-
ory no longer pose any risk
since the little switch on the
back of the receiver guaran-
tees that you can reflash the
receiver should something
ever go wrong. This receiv-
er lets you enjoy the high-
est levels of multimedia - it
can easily take the place of
other multimedia devices.
The vast array of functions in
this receiver will blow away
even the most experienced
enthusiasts and they‘d have
the ability to always try out
new functions, Plugins and
images.
Even for the most sophis-
ticated satellite DXer, this
receiver would be an incred-
ibly fascinating machine - it
comes with a highly modern
tuner that also happens to
be extremely sensitive plus
it can handle professional
MPEG 4:2:2 transmissions.
The AZBox ME manufacturer
OpenSAT has already said
that they will shortly be add-
ing BlindScan as well.
All of this is packaged in
a small, attractive housing.
We are very enthusiastic
about this box and want to
congratulate OpenSAT for
the success of this super re-
ceiver.
