ABCOM IPBOX 9000 HD and 900 HD HDTV-linux based

Well another box for me to consider when I get to buying hdtv box. Abcom had pretty good support with their previous models, with engima based images. Hopefully it will be the case with this one as well. Comes in silver and black. Price in German shops for 9000 model is 550EUR, for 900 model it is 430EUR but I don't think either are available to purchase yet.

Actually a friend told me that these are same products as dgstations releases, just under different brand(should have figured it out on my own). So this should be dgstation's cuberevo boxes I guess.
Anyway, that's why I removed abcom-ipbox forum I opened yesterday, since we already have relook section.
