Patrick, I'd like to contribute to the project, so maybe this will be a good place for me to start. Although the starbox 1 is limited by it's capabilities, at least I can contribute to the completeness of device support of the project. If you have the time and patience maybe you could help me get started with what is required to get the starbox working?
