thanks bro

tuner sensitivity could be checked on other remote sats like Astra 2D or Nilesat.
anyway the pictures says the SNR of Solo2 is higher than Duo ..whioch could indicate more sensitivity ( i used to use Adenin's Satfinder plugin for this purpose)

for the picture quality, the attached picture could not tell much..it depends on the TV screen size and u have to be there to see and compare but generally speaking i think the PQ of Solo2 and Duo are better than the DM :)

The box is very fast. Booting in 25 seconds. Flashing in under one minute.

Zapping is also very fast. Faster than the Vu+ Uno. When you zapp through the menu, then you realize the power of 1.3 GHz.

BH 1.7.9 works fine.

Only the picture quality is okay, but not good.

what's the airplay function like. Vu+ have advertised it as having airplay, does this function well?

As said before Most/all MIPS enigma2 Boxes have this problem Its your tv also not just the box itself.
Even the db8000 has the pq problem if you want to get away from it buy a box with the sti chipset and bad software/support :cool:

don´t know what you re talking from?

this is brand new box, with new used linux kernel,also there where 2 driver updates to now!

and none driver update for the tuner!

look at all other boxes, how the quality of the picture was at the first images!

show me another box with better picture,which also have a fairly good support and a fairly useable chipset!

so why people should buy new hd box where quality isnt improved
look most of thread here or others forum people report bad quality image on vuduo & vusolo

so what those people expect from vusolo2 ? quality to be improved right ?

i can just advise people which would like to get a vusolo2 to get picture quality improved that they will be very disappointed (quality still the same as vusolo 1)

regards

I aint saying your tv is bad its just that some tv's dont like the way MIPS/BROADCOM Boxes process the image...
Thats why most/all the mips/broadcom boxes have the same problem.
Its like a lottery some tv's love the boradcom Chipset and have exhalent PQ then some don't like them as much...
I have both the ultimo and the duo2 and i can say i can see a improvement on sd/hd on my PDPLX5090-UT

Hi @bellof ;)

Thanks for your reports friend!
Can I ask you to test one thing, please?

How it goes the media player for Solo2?? I mean, with some different kind of media files (like mp3, flac, mkv, iso, etc...) and with subtitles :)
Thanks!

There is nothing wrong with your TV, my experience with this problem is most people have no idea how to set up the tv correctly.
Your best info on this would be found on AV forums if you are interested.
Personally I think the picture on my samsung is very good.
But if you are that upset with it I suggest you sell it, there will be no shortage of takers on such a bad box which of course you will advertise with this fault so it will be very cheap compared to a new one. :D
