*1 DMM has issued successors to these models: dm500hd v2, dm800se v2 and dm7020hd v2. These models will not be supported by OpenPLi.
*2 HbbTV and Web browsing are only available in the proprietary/closed images from DMM, the required components are not released to the public domain.
*3 Whether passthrough is available, depends on the (pluggable) LNB in use.
*4 Video codecs In addition to DVB HD requirements: mpeg1, mpeg2, mpeg4 (= h.264 aka mpeg4 avc). Other abbreviations: mpeg4vc is mpeg 4, part 2, aka "divx".
*5 Audio codecs in addition to DVB HD requirements: mpeg1-layer-II (aka mp2), mpeg1-layer-III (aka mp3), dolby digital (aka ac3) and mpeg advanced audio coddec (aac). Other abbreviations: ac3+ is dolby digital plus (aka dd+).
*6 SD full motion and HD I-frames only (pictures gets updated 1-2 times a second)
*7 Currently all supported SoC's have "mipsel32" architecture.
*8 Support of all DMM models are "as-is". Other than current enigma, there will be no development nor updates whatsoever.
