Tiviar Alpha Plus Conclusion

The Tiviar Alpha Plus offers an attractive alternative to the Enigma 2 based receivers and includes support for DVB-T2 and CI+ which mostly are lacking on Enigma2 based devices.

Tiviar offers a strong receiver with powerful hardware and support for the latest technologies. The Tiviar has fast booting and channel zapping and supports Gigabit Ethernet and Hbb-TV.

The receiver seems stable even at this early stage we did see an issue with watching recordings while they were still being recorded and hopefully the iOS app will soon support streaming tv.

price: between 300-400€

It seems to be a good receiver and an excellent alternative to solo2 and duo2.

Re: Tiviar Alpha Plus [An alternative to the Vu+ Solo2?]

It's a similar price to the solo2 and said they hope to support streaming in the future. I wonder if that would be transcoding?
Think I'd stick with the tried and trusted vu+.
Does look good though.

Looks like a bit of care and attention has gone into the design, impressive spec too
like most new Stb's need to wait for some working feedback.

is this already in the market? check few sites and couldn't find it?
looks like a powerful and elegant device, as mentioned before, just have to see some feed backs? I like the eSata port on the back!
