Included is even an HDMI cable. Where there is still today.
After I had already bought a VU + Uno, I have I decided to continue to use the Solo2 in the living room, because the built-in hardware is much more powerful.
One can already feel the difference. Significantly faster loading time when switching on or off.
In addition, a lot of disk space to install plugins or make an update of the operating system online.
The unit has factory-installed a fan which operates almost noiseless. In addition, you can control the fan speed via a menu.
The unit is - even after prolonged operation - not hot. So optimal.
The image quality in HD - but even with SD - I think that is excellent. No difference from the satellite tuner in my Panasonic TV.
Who should not be satisfied, the possibility has to optimize the picture settings.
I can install the VTI-Image in the latest version via USB flash drive easily and quickly after delivery.
If you take the time and thus familiarizes different options provided by the Linux-based image, you will be thrilled and always discover new things.
One can cut recordings on the internal hard drive with EMC directly and edit. So it is possible to add cut movie beginning and movie end directly.
Scheduled recordings via EPG function smoothly. Have a Samsung M8 HN-M101MBB installed as 1 terabyte hard drive that works quietly and silently.
With the software, you can organize and edit Dreamedit channel lists on the PC.
In fact, I really can not say anything negative about this product. Except, perhaps, that I am annoyed not to have bought it a long time ago. ;-)
The VU + Solo2 offers a high performance potential for the reasonable price. In addition, it makes a lot of fun to work with the device and always something new to discover.
I'm Linux layman. It requires no knowledge thereof.
Can the Solo2 really recommend it.
Edit:
After several weeks, I've also found that you should plug in the satellite cable to the tuner 2, since it is the master tuner.
This I can achieve that the PIP (Picture in Picture) properly and seamless functions.
When the tuner menu Tuner A (Input 1) then configured correctly, you can record and see if they are for the same transponder same time, several broadcasts. For example, you could take SAT1 and RTL and VOX see.
