Unibox
Unibox[1] is a satellite, cable and terrestrial digital receiver (set-top box). It has been distributed widely for use with Pay TV. It also enables the receiver to store digital copies of MPEGTS on internal harddisk or networked filesystems.

Unibox Mac
UD-1100HD(180 x 145 x 40)[edit]
This is essentially a full high definition(1080p) version of the UD-1000HD(S2/T/C) USBPVR, a 450 MHz MIPS processor, 32MB of Flash memory, 256MB of RAM. It also features one HDMI, one USB 2.0, one 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces. It has and touchpad on front.
The main differences of the UD-1100HD compared to the UD-1000HD are one USB port.
UD-2000HD(280 x 180 x 58)[edit]
This is full high definition(1080p) USBPVR. It supports one fixed tuner and one detachable tuner module(S2,T,C). It also features one HDMI, two USB 2.0, one eSATA, two Common Interface, two Smart card, one Optical and one 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces.
Plug-ins[4][edit]
There are also many 3rd party plugins available. Plugins such as Weather forecast, YouTube, IRC chatting, WebCam, youporn, torrent are available.
In addition, unofficial third-party conditional access software modules (CAMs or emulators[5]) are widely circulated on the Internet that emulate the CA systems developed by NDS (VideoGuard), Irdeto, Conax, Nagravision, Viaccess and other proprietary vendors. Some Uni-box owners use these softcams in conjunction with card sharing software to access pay TV services without a subscription card inserted in every connected box. This practice may be illegal in some jurisdictions and third-party software for this purpose is neither officially endorsed nor supported by UNIDIS and voids the official warranty.
Play steam with ps4 controller. Step 2) Grab VDX from here: This allows you to treat an Xbox Controller as a DS4 Controller, which PS4 Remote Play acknowledges Step 3) Add PS4 Remote Play to Steam using the GloSC tool The tool explains how to use it, but in brief: Create New - Enable Launch Game - Click. And select the Remote Play exe. Using the Steam Controller to play PS4 Remote Play. So I'm trying to find a way to get PS4 Remote Play to recognize my Steam Controller as a DS4 controller but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how to do that. I've seen suggestions about a thing called CronusMax Plus but I'd rather not go that route as it requires a purchase.

Design Data Base Compiled by Bruce Slevinsky for UniBox
Bruce Slevinsky has compiled a design data base containing 628 drivers. As it has been impossible for Bruce to get the full set of TS parameters for all units he has calculated the missing parameters needed for UniBox using a technique described in his memorandum and corresponding Excel sheet.
The design data base contains drive units from Altec, Audax, Audio Concepts, Bag End, BBC, Blaupunkt, Boston Acoustics, Celestion, Dayton, Dynaudio, Electro-Voice, Eminence, Fane, Focal, Gauss, JBL, JL Audio, Klipsch, McCauley, MCM, MG Electronics, Morel, Parts Express, Peavey, Peerless, Performance Plus, Phoenix Gold, Pioneer, Pyle, Pyramid, Reflex, Rockford-Fosgate, Scan-Speak, SoundStream, Stillwater Designs, Tekton, Thruster, Ultimate, Vieta and Vifa.

Thiele Small Parameters of your favorite loudspeaker unit
Jan Fredriksson of the Thiele-Small Loudspeaker Database Web site maintains one of the largest databases for Thiele-Small parameters of your favorite loudspeaker units. Furthermore, a host of other useful design parameters are listed. You can also submit new or your own TS data to help make the database even better.
The site also contains Thiele-Small parameters in the UniBox Design Database format for direct download and import into UniBox.

Operation with other versions of Excel
Excel 97
Many Excel 97 users reports that UniBox 3.00 for Excel 2000 works without any problems at all. Some have problems with a few features but usually this is cured when all Microsoft service releases are installed.
Users of the French version of Excel 97 have problems when opening UniBox, but Antoine Bonin found an easy work around. Go to the Windows regional parameter setting and select English instead of French. This has been verified by Christopher Pace with a good result too.
Compatibility with OpenOffice on MS Windows and Linux
Justin Seiferth reports that he has UniBox running in OpenOffice 2.3 on MS Windows and Linux with excellent results. Please remember to go to Tools | Options | Security | Macro Security and set the level to Medium to ensure all the macros are allowed to run.

| 3.01 | Improved Design Data Base import function with check for already existing entry. Enhanced port self resonance model for BPST box. Improved user interface. Drive unit efficiency calculations added. Export of all graphs using GIF image file format. Minor improvements. Design Data Base format has not been changed. |
| 4.00 | Improved model of voice coil, Le + Le2//Re2, for better simulation of Eddy currents in the pole piece. The effect of this inductance model is now included in all graphs. Passive low pass crossover of up to 4. order added. Port self resonance model added to the vented box design. Driver piston range calculated and shown in mini-graphs. Increased Design Data Base import/export speed. Imports Design Data Base file ver. 1.0 and 2.0. Exports Design Data Base file ver. 2.0 Bug fix for Bandpass Single Tuned Box Step Response.

| 4.05 | FRD file import feature added. You can now import an active filter correction function and see the resulting frequency response, cone excursion, port air speed and much more. A typical design approach would be to simulate your box in UniBox and export the frequency response as a FRD file. Import this into the Linkwitz Transform program found on the FRD Consortium Web and simulate your active correction filter. Export this correction as a FRD file and use the new import feature of UniBox to see the final results. Graphs have been added to show the necessary power amplifier peak voltage and peak current for all box alignments. |
| 4.06 | FRD file import feature improved. Now also extrapolates any high frequency curve if needed. The imported file is normalized to 0 dB at its maximum value. Suitable for general active subwoofer crossover filters. Improved user interface. |
| 4.07 | FRD file format changed to allow for both 'space' and 'tab' between data entries. |
| 4.08 | FRD file reader improved for better compatibility with format variations. |
