    Maybe, but Vu+ are far from the best in terms of driver support, there are many other EU based manufacturers who do a far better job and actually respond when you submit bugs to them, Vu+ are getting as bad if not worse than dreambox multimedia for their shockingly bad support.

    I was really surprise to here that as I always thought that Vu+ would have been one of the best Manufacturers for support, and having a Duo2 rather worried that vix will stop supporting them, I suppose that they might be getting complacent in thinking that any problems are down to someone else and not them as they are regarded as being the Rolls Royce of E2 Receivers people will still buy them I remember the British Motorbike industry having the same attitude and we all know what happened to them in the 70s

    no we wont stop supporting Vu+ but we cant move to the new OE with this issue unresolved because if we did you would loose the ability to stream to and from the receiver as well as viewing any media file not created on the receiver.

    We are just waiting for Vu+ to get their fingers out and tell us what they are doing, but we wont wait forever for them either. At present we have three options.

    1. stop all development on the OE 2.4 image branch (This is our current stance), meaning no updated Gstreamer for any manufacturer.
    2. Progress with the OE 2.4 image branch but leave the Vu+ hardware on the OE 2.3 branch (essentially killing support until such a time as Vu+ update Gstreamer).
    3. Progress with the OE 2.4 branch for ALL receivers and manufacturers we support (Rendering the Vu's unable to stream and severely hamper their media player support).

    Technomate are shocking for support and I don't just mean their drivers, it took them 5 months to replace hardrives their faulty product destroyed.

    Disagree there, imo they've come good now. In the early days had some issues, but doing extremly well now. They've got no more issues than any other manufacturer has including VU+.

    You wont be disappointed, TM-Nano-3T and Nano-2 Super are great imo. Replaced my Solo2 with Nano-3T, actually feels faster and has extra hybrid tuner

    Thanks Judge, Phoenix and Sicilian for clarifying regards Vu+, am really shocked at that regards the support attitude with them. I assumed, along with a lot of other folks, regarded them as the le creme of the creme in terms of satellite receivers and wouldn't have known the issues you are facing and your struggles with them in getting driver issues resolved etc. thank you all for sharing that with us, this is why this forum is the best and why ViX is the best image out by a country mile. ViX thrives on being the best and we are all proud of you guys for giving us a truly amazing image and may I wish it continues for many many more years. You ViX guys are amazing, thank you.

    Problem is VU+ is they are living on their brand name right now, in terms of development and support they seem to be getting worse. Replies from their driver engineer are getting slower and slower. In all honesty brands like Miraclebox, Golden Interstar, Mutant, Technomate are actually responding faster to issues right now.

    I had one of these receivers and found them to be very slow and sluggish..
    Even running Vix..the Picture quality was as good as any vu box but I was frustrated by the sluggish way box would operate and updates for image and epg took forever,A well built box however and looks good..
    I would without hesitation go for a vu solo2 or the tm nano oe t2 super which has same processor as solo2 so expect the same fast smooth operation...
