    Much cheaper? I'm not a member of that forum, and I cant register either.

    Registrations are closed at the moment anyway.

    Ive found it on a german ( i think its german ) site for 329 euros, plus shipping. But by the time you add it all up with fees for the way you pay it works out to be £292 deliverd, I spose it aint worth the hassle, just as well order it from the uk..

    http://www.satshop.tv

    Fuck it, ive ordered it from here http://www.shopping4satellite.com

    works out to be £279.45 delivered. 2 to 3 days delivery.

    Quality in 1channel is very like youtube, some can be lower quality, some can be HD, you get what you pay for I guess

    I've bought from http://www.sat-shop.co.uk/index.html and http://satboxes.com in Ireland and didn't have any problem with either.

    result Re: New Vu+ Duo2 Solo2

    Vu have released new drivers. Some of the changes are good for the solo2...


    • Enhance PQ (solo2)
    • Improve transcoding (solo2)
    • Fix recording problem (solo2)


    I'm using the ViX image and using them hasn't caused me any problems so far. I've done some limited checks and the problems I had with recording encrypted channels does seem to be gone
    . I can record one sports channel while watching another, I can start watching the recording while it's still in progress. Timeshift seems to work OK. I couldn't really do much at all to do with recording encrypted channels before the update.

    Read more here...

    http://vuplus-community.net/board/threads/vu-drivers-update-2013-02-07.11001/

    and if you can't be bothered registering to download the drivers then they are here..

    Does anyone know of a terrestrial USB tuner that'll work with the SOLO2?

    BTW, I got a Solo2 last week and I have to say I am extremely impressed with it, I'm even tempted to swop it out for my Ultimo as my main box
