I have to agree with you Barry. I have two avov boxes currently (vixo 2 and a TVonline4) and I won't buy another. Thanks for the tip on the STBEMU as I never knew that. A friend mentioned that he has started using a Raspberry PI (also a former Avov user) and that you can add whatever you want as its more like a computer. He said its very stable. When I bought my TVonline 4 the remote never worked properly and I emailed AVOV hoping for a replacement and they wouldn't even consider even though the box was a few months old. They are also to slow to introduce updates. After 4 Avov boxes in total my Avov days are over.
Thanks again for the tip.
