AZBOX Official announcement and launch of AzBox United States

[pwrsurge]

Thanks for the information. So it all depends on processing power. How does the Prof 7500 work, hardware or software/codec to view 4.2.2.? If software/codec what sort of processing power is required? Reason I ask is because nowadays quite a few STB receivers are really computers (internet access, media players, etc.) so if you had a powerful enough processor in the STB you would think that a software solution could be possible (sort of like the STB streaming to itself and being decoded by a program similar to VLC).

Hopefully the Titan has enough processing power to at least receive SD 4.2.2 feeds in realtime using a software codec such as the CBC news feeds on 107.3W Ku-band. We are fully aware that there will be limitations with no hardware 4.2.2 support on this model but will try to do the best firmware-wise with the hardware we have to work with in order to adapt it to the North American market.

With a DVB card on your PC, things are different as your computer's CPU and GPU processing power is being used to decode 4.2.2 video in realtime. Modern day PC's have a lot more processing power than any STB.

I bought my MicroHD from the fellow in Kentucky at gotcband.com

Is he an authorized MicroHD dealer also?

I assume you meant "authorized miniMe dealer" Yes, gotcband.com is an authorized AzBox US dealer. They should soon have the AzBox miniMe American Edition available for sale.
