SET-TOP-BOX COMPARISON


In these tables below you will find some STB's of which most are supported by OpenPLi, with their technical specifications, real power consumption figures, and the OpenPLi version supported for the model. Please note that this list shows only relevant differences between STB's. Features that are shared by all (like digital S/PDIF audio out) are left out.

Dream Multimedia (only obsolete models)

All models are obsolete. Newer models, including dm500hd v2, dm800se v2,
dm7020hd v2 and dm7080hd will not be supported by OpenPLi (and vice versa),
due to DMM closing up their sources, please see the official OpenPLi statement.
Support of mentioned DMM models is "as-is". Other than current enigma, there
will be no development nor updates whatsoever.
