WeTek Play satellite receiver was initially launched with Android and OpenELEC support, but the community started to provide other operating systems such as Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Lakka and Enigma 2, and the hardware is even used to receive educational materials or emergency info via satellite thanks to Outernet project. The device now support OpenPLi Linux based distributions for DVB receivers.
If you want to try, you can download one of the latest images of OpenPLi for WeTek Play by loading the firmware onto an SD card. Bear in mind that official has just started so some features may not be implemented, and OpenPLi documentation specific to WeTek Play is basically inexistent. Support is available on the forums.
If you want to get an idea about what OpenPLi is capable, you may however check out th list of specific features in the wiki, including PLi Movieplayer to allow you to playback different video file formats from any computer that will run the VLC application, PLi Remote Control key mapper, PLi Software management and download tools for add-ons, softcams, games, etc…

Cool, but does it run Kodi (XBMC) in OpenPLi on it?
I think you can install it as .ipk package for Enigma 2
I that someone started an Enigma2 port of Kodi for OpenPli http://forums.openpli.org/topic/40225-kodi-152-for-vusolose-vusolo2-and-vuduo2/
@Harley
I think I’ve read in the forums that Kodi is not currently supported in OpenPLi for WeTek Play. Maybe later.
Does the OpenPLI offer support for other boxes that have built-in tuners like Geniatech ATV586 and upcoming ATV1950 with dual tuners?
Am particularly interested in ATSC OTA programs.
@refdaddy
You can see the list of supported hardware @ http://wiki.openpli.org/HomePage#hn_Supported
No Geniatech device supported so far.
