Satclones site posted an interesting review of AZBox Premium HD capabilities, which can be translated to English with Google Translate, and confirms AZBox is the CelrunTV's model derivative. At present AZBox DVB-S2 tuner is based on Connexant CX24116 Demodulator, which doesn't have a blindscan circuitry, hence there will be no hardware supported blindscan, until a newer DVB-S2 NIM tuner model is ever offered and driver support developed for its blindscan features, if any. Software routing based blindscan would be very slow with Sigma proc. to make sense implementing. Blindscan feature is not of high priority in Europe, and AZBox doesn't comply with NA certification requirements anyway, plus NA true FTA market capacity is quite limited, so its the lowest priority task on their agenda. AZBox employs SIGMA Processor SMP 8634, controlled by Linux Kernel 2.6.15 (Sigma-Arch) via CelrunTV developed GUI, accessible by a user with Remote Control.
Despite becoming a sole AZBox distributor, newly created OpenSat didn't have money to bring to Europe enough STBs due to fast growing model popularity, and even less funds to implement locally required firmware upgrades or US market required hardware changes, such as adding an OTA Tuner or blindscan circuitry. They partnered with UAI Inc. - the Dubai company with solid financial backing and branches in USA and Lebanon, the owner of SonySat STB brand based on IBM PowerPC STB chip series - to co-develop and jointly market their STBs in NA and LA. As part of the deal, AZBox STB will be sold through SonySat distributors in NA, once its models design complies with NA legal requirements. It can also be sold in NA under SonySat label with a different faceplate in parallel.

"Sonysat & Opensat "Azbox" are working together to release the best HD STB on market.
Sonysat & Azbox will be Celebrating the launch for :

Sonysat DGR3000 Gouxin 6102 212MHZ
Sonysat DSR6200 IBMPPC palas 450 HDMI
Azbox HD Premium Sigma Design CPU
Azbox HD Elite Sigma Design CPU
Visit us at 2009 International CES, Booth: South 2 26516".
Due to fast growing demand for AZBox and bigger STB shipments required, production has been moved from an OEM partner facility in SK to China, and currently carried by Shenzhen Dongsi Technology Co. AZBox brand owner small Portugal company OpenSat continues to be primarily a master distributor of this DGStation's STB, but is also getting involved in driver development for new AZBox Tuner models, Linux GUI add-ons, faceplate re-design for new models, and some AZBox hardware changes to accommodate locally required upgrades and bug fixes.
That's about it for now, when it comes to AZBox. Do you know more about the company behind this label, or want to correct anything you perceived as inaccurate? You're welcome to offer your own version of facts about AZBox origin in this thread. Don't forget to add solid weblinks as your reference sources to avoid looking misinformed.
