Does VST offer live Hong Kong/Taiwan tv channels? I tried to go thru the VST live tv list with my relatives (since I cannot read chinese myself), but they did not see any HK/Taiwan channels among the...

Probably The Dude is referring to Pivos XIOS which has XBMC support. I don't have this, but instead got a Pivos AIOS which seems more like the real successor to the PBO Core (as opposed to PBO...

Thanks. I noticed now that the Other Channels page shows many more channels than when I last checked. Last week, I only saw 4 and now I see around 20. Like you said, I guess this can change anytime...

I'm considering purchasing one of these PBO Alpine players. I've read all about the lack of firmware issues. I see now that there is a 3.0 firmware that has just been release on 11/19/2012...

Thanks for the response. One follow-up question, how did you access the "Old version live TV" hdpfans? Do you see different channels on the "other channels" page compared to the "New verion live TV"...

Hi tourist,
I'm currently on V2SP5fixMOD (PBO P70R2 firmware that Akira ported Chinese IMS to). I had previously been watching the blog page at http://blog.xuite.net/isakira/blog/58275412 which...

FYI - Since PBO seems to be discontinued and not available to buy anywhere, I decided to buy a Pivos Aios media player, which is still readily available. From reading reviews, it seems this...

I already have a PBO Core, but wanted to get a second one. It seems the PBO Alpine is just not ready for primetime, and I don't want to buy a beta product when PBO Core seems to have so many other...

I recently installed the PBO P70R2 with Chinese IMS and Web2.9 firmware (V2SP5fixMOD) from akira. The install went fine, but when trying to watch live tv thru hdpfans in the Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan...

Thanks for the reply. I actually don't have an immediate need for a USB-TTL cable but wanted to get one to have readily available as an insurance policy or in case there was a large-sized firmware I...

Ok thanks, I'll wait for your confirmation. But I definitely don't see pin headers directly exposed on my PBO for the serial port. If that's the case, what can I do to connect the TTL end of a...

snappy46,
Thanks for your helpful response. I want to get clarification on one thing though. You said that the pins on the PBO are pin headers. I'm not sure what a pin header means, but from what I...

I'm looking to buy a USB-TTL cable for my PBO. I have never used one of these before so have some basic questions on this.

I see that the serial port on the PBO has 4 pin openings for RX, TX, VCC,...

Thanks for the flashing explanations. Have not seen these concepts explained well anywhere else so I appreciate you taking the time to do so here. I'm sure others will be helped by this too.
...

tourist, i'm still not clear how the telnet force flashing works. Is it that we just copy the install.img to the USB drive, connect the USB drive to the PBO, telnet to the PBO and then run the...

Thanks for the update. I appreciate you letting the community know about this, especially for those of us who cannot read chinese. Please keep posting whenever you think there are worthwhile firmware...

Resolved issue. I didn't realize that for a wired connection, the IP address of the DNS server needs to be explicitly specified (to the router's IP address). I somehow thought that the PBO would...

Here's a couple more data points.

First, I telneted to the PBO when it was connected using the powerline adapter. Then I tried to ping a public web site like google.com and it said that the...

Hi,
I am trying to use a 200Mbps powerline AV adapter kit (specifically, Trendnet TPL-303E2K) with my PBO to access IMS content. The powerline adapters...

Wow, that would be a big show stopper if that's the case. Can anyone else confirm this issue?

tourist,
Could you PM me the link for the V5SP4 firmware? I would like to try that since you mentioned the remote works better with that, and I did feel that the remote response was sluggish with...

tourist, thanks for providing the instructions. I followed them and it worked exactly like you described. I can't believe there's so much IMS content and just need to explore it now. Thanks again.

I understand that it's possible to view chinese tv content (from china, hong kong, taiwan) via the IMS feature. Could someone provide instructions for how to do so? It seems there are some...
