'Well supported' as in they are releasing a lot of fixes, but have not yet got a stable product?

That's called commissioning / testing to me, with the question being why is it even on the market at this stage?

I think it's now a relatively safe bet. Whereas the initial buyers will have to have jumped through hoops to get 1/2 decent results. However, the bug fixes have also brought about improvements like USB recording - which is nice.
Oh well, its not something I'd want from a company, but almost everyone on the market is the same. Even though others may say otherwise, you would not, for example, get me buying the new Magic TV box for at least another 6 months... enough time for them to iron out as many bugs as possible.

DF,

Possibly,

I know that one company does extensive testing ,here and at their facility , ands also send hardware & software engineers here to assist with testing & sorting out as many issues as possible , before the product is released.

There are currently 3 products undergoing testing ATM
