User Talbs from OpenPLi forum released this interesting default OpenPLi skin few months ago. It is basically just a small mod where you can choose between different color layouts which are borrowed from MyMetrix skin, you can also choose different fonts and use SHD picons or in other words, these picons are bigger than usual ones. Users are using these picons with MyMetrix skin but you cannot use it with default OpenPLi skin – PLiHD because you cant put it anywhere!

If you want to download and try it, visit OpenPLi forum (http://openpli.org/forums/topic/32847-pimp-my-plihd-by-talbs/page-3#entry414952) and download latest .ipk file. I dont know by heart if there is already latest version on OpenPLi official addon server. Below are some old pics. Be aware that author returned to default PLi skin main infobar layout but there is a bit more room for SHD picons, so you can use them without a problem.

Last few months have been quite busy with new satellite receivers based on last generation Broadcom chipsets. This also means they can run Enigma 2 software, usually modified OpenPli image (OpenATV, OpenViX, etc.). Golden Interstar is known brand in some parts of the Europe and they released three receivers:

1. LX1 has 1 tuner and is obviously an entry level receiver,

2. LX2 has 2 tuners, better display, tuner out connector and design of the box is the same as with LX1,

3. LX3 has 4 tuners, 2 are fixed, 2 are changeable. Among all Golden Interstar receivers this is the most appealing one. Specs are very similar to Vu+ Duo 2:

– Full HD Quad / Combo Receiver

I hope that the manufacturer has quality drivers because I know from my past experience that drivers can cause many issues when using the receiver. For images and other information please visit Golden Interstar website: http://www.xpeed-lx.de/
