Where to buy a mag box + a few q's

Mag 322 is a solid build. Reliable. Ease of use..
( only as good as the provider).
 
I set up a couple of mags the other day and they were ok but make sure software update is turned off ,as stuss said ther have been a few issues with blocking but if you turn off software update you should be ok.
 
I've got 2x mag 254 boxes for sale if anyone is interested. (Mods please delete if not allowed)
You need to post in items for sale mate with your username date you posted it on paper on your boxes describe as best of possible include pics and price you want
 
i had quite a few different mags over the time. as to which one is best etc....
its more a case of which you can get now as models get discontinued and replaced (you can buy older models but you pay a lot more) .

in order of best mag box (in my opinion) see below

mag349 (now discontinued replaced mag324)
mag 351 (discontinued 4k box replaced by mag420)
mag 256 (discontinued replaced by mag 349)
mag 420 (current 4k box replaced 351)
mag 322 (current - replaced 254)
mag254 (discontinued replaced by 322)

there is also a mag424 coming soon which looks like it will be up there spec wise with a mag349/256

reason i rate the mag349 so much was due to the spec: (it was lighting quick loading menus etc)

performance 6000DMIPS
ram 1gb
flash 8gb

the mag 256 had the following spec:

performance 3500DMIPS
ram 1gb
flash 512gb

the other mags were similar with 2000 / 512/512 (the 4k boxers were better spec to support 4k)

but the 349/256 were really quick for loading and menus much better then todays current 322.

all the specs are on informir website...

hope this helps.
