Yup it is a new trend here changing the firmware to another model . But to be honest I'm mainly into feeds hunting , getting EPL on Eutelsat 7E and 10 E in Tandberg though my receiver ain't supporting Tandberg but I use VPlug Share to be able to decrypt the EPL feeds.I always assumed it was just loads of fake companies all with the same hardware? But I don't know. Have you looked for updates? There was also ways to change the reciever firmware to another model. I had trouble reading the info cos most of the sites are in Arabic!
This is drifting a bit away from beIN on Astra 19 E but it is always a pleasure to share which brand capable of doing what.
Thinking of getting any of the new - heated debate - AU Biss/Power View and Tandberg , but they aren't available in Egypt gotta try to get it from another country in the middle east.
If you need any help with Arabic just inbox me and I'd be more than happy to help mate.
