what will happen when the new duo2 comes out i believe it wont run emiga 2 does this mean we will start to see things slow down for us.

Re: duo 2

I have heard that the duo2 will be running linux, enigma 2.
There is another stb that is in development called the Prism Cube which will be running XBMC4STB but is still in the early development stage.
There is a video on youtube of it being demonstrated at Anga Cable.
As far as I'm aware the Duo2 will be enigma2.

Re: duo 2

There were some early news around on Wiki, before the Anga Cable Exhibishion in Cologne, Germany that VU+Solo2 and VU+Duo2 will be based on XBMC Media Center. Probably it was the idea to turn the clones down.
Wiki has updated thier page now and they have removed the XBMC bit and have left it empty, so still a mystery!

[QUOTE=rob45;227004]hi i think i must of read it wrong thanks for putting me straight on that no reason to worry then.[/QUOTE]

Well I'm not 100% sure, but I think that xbmc4stb is still in the beta phase.
I don't think vu+ would stake their reputation on a very new, untried and untested platform.
XBMC Is great though. I have it on my htpc.

If you believe the reports and rumours going around then the Solo2 and Duo2 are expected to hit the shops around October time, I think it may be a little later due to how thay marketed the Ultimo and that was announced and then released around the 6 months mark

Re: duo 2

I'm trying to hold out to see what the prices are like, but I'm getting so tempted to buy an ultimo.
Might even end up getting a solo2 as this is a twin tuner.

Re: duo 2

I've just read on vu+ facebook fanpage that the new range will be released in november.
Don't know if I can wait that long. Might get the gigablue quad instead.

Yes the vu+ duo is great, but I think the duo2 will be even greater.

Re: duo 2

i've heard that price for new vu+ duo2 should be about 600€

[microchick]

Re: duo 2

600 will be out of range. But they would be difinitely expensive than the VU+ range, with better processor and RAM. As it will be new in the market so there will be very little support available on the web. I think I will wait until there are good reviews and better support.

Re: duo 2

I've heard 599 euro for the duo2 and 399 eyro for the solo2. Remember that the solo2 will actually be a twin tuner. Just not pluggable tuners like the duo2.

[mirny]

Re: duo 2

yes it will be a twin tuner, but without lnb outs :(

Re: duo 2

Solo2 looks good with twin tuner and USB2.0. One thing i noticed that there is still no RF out. It helps to watch the TV in other room. Good quality Video senders or HD video senders are expensive.
