i have the small one from vu+ (solo) and i bought last week the et-9000 receiver (and i already had dm800,edision pingulux). as in the other e2 receivers,i thought that blackhole and sifteam images could be the best.both images was bad (i hope that could be better in next compilation). i realy disappointed because i thought that the other images could be a step down. i was wrong. I was surprised when i tried vix,which is based in openpli,but have some things to do outside of practical and beautiful.the better came when i tried the c-tech official (as is named) image,which is based in openpli too.i did everything what i do with my dreambox (mount disks,network with other receivers or pc,streaming channels,plugins like mytube and many other) and i got crash when only i tried to crash the receiver. so with those two images (and the pli base),i don't think that the "et series" receivers far away from other e2 receivers.
