It's good you give your opinion, the point is here there is all type of users, who can use an old DM500s box, as well as an only DM800HDpvr Sim 1.0, etc... So we keep all software for those who can also not buy a new Japhar sim (Many arrive here finding things for their old box impossible to find anywhere else, and then decide to upgrade the sim to use better software). They can do what they can, but still with our support/JAM they have things to use, if they want the level of Japhar then they can upgrade the sim in the box.

But, the logic is that they get at least their box to work, the minimal requirements (otherwise they will go somewhere else if they could even not use the "minimal", and we would loose them for a probable future upgrade to Japhar as they find out with time it's still a good deal to upgrade the sim, that improves in software a lot their old hardware box... if they are gone somewhere else, then they will be totaly lost for the Japhar Cause). Our logic of the encyclopedia and support of all DM boxes, pays... as often after some months or even years forum members upgrade their sim to Japhar, as they are finally convinced of the real interest to do it... we must not loose them going somewhere else or throwing away their box they consider useless... and cannot manage at least for the minimum of their requirements/needs.

Not everybody can buy a DM900UHD or new UHD box... it's much easier to spend the 30 Euro for a Japhar Sim, and improve considerably their box that was capable of the minimal TV things with older Sim 1.0 or unsupported ones... Sims pay the forum/feeds costs... and with time we convince old boxes users to get a new sim, keeping them here helping them and showing them that if they want more of it, a sim (software) can do the difference.

We hate the forums that "throw away old software" and box support... for us it's a lot of human time and work lost (and content that gets people coming here as only here they find things, also old) when we all know that we can improve the box keeping the hardware but just with new and/or good software.

All our content, also old, is a Magnet, that get more members, and more potential users of Japhar Sim (and so buyers, helping then to pay the costs of Servers/forum/feeds as we have no sponsors, no membership fee and we do all with our own pocket money and time).

We don't want to force the upgrade to the Japhar Sim... as there is "no more old software" available (removing it, cancelling it, wiping it). The old software is here, they find our forum that way and stay here enjoying the community, and it helps to do their minimum requirements, but since a lot happened on past years and software was improved a lot adding functionnalities, this generally get them wishing more from their hardware... then the sim upgrade is next for them (and will cover server costs for all to continue to enjoy the Japhar Community and Forum).
