[Ev0]

has it been that long ? jeeeeez

Yep, I bought mine 24th December 2011

£550 sounds pretty good for both dvb-s2 and dvb-c fbc tuners.

I paid nearly that much for my Ultimo with 3x dvb-s2 tuners almost 5 years ago (it was xmas eve).

Still using mine as my main box out lived my Vu+ Duo which died a couple of years back

Mine only gets used for testing these days.

I got spoilt and after using the Solo2 for a few weeks, I couldn't go back to the Ultimo as the main box as it was just too slow for me (strange thing was at the time, I didn't notice how much faster the Solo2 was when I went from Ultimo to Solo2, it was only when trying to go back to using the Ultimo).

Hi Evo,
Would it be possible to take the 3.5" HDD from my Duo 2 and install into an Ultimo 4K without reformatting it and losing my recordings???

Cheers,
Nitemare.

Yes you would not need to reformat it, you can just install the hdd and it will work fine.

Great excellent ... that'll save me a pound or two then!!!

Thanks Evo

Well my box has finally reached the Parcelforce International Hub in Coventry after over 3 days doing a tour of Germany via DHL? I thought the Germans where supposed to be super efficient, as someone who works in logistics i have a lot of dealings with DHL in the UK, they are painful TBH, i didn't think DHL Germany would be the same.
Now i'm at the mercy of Parcelforce (Jeez this gets worse).
To put all this into perspective when i ordered my Solo4k it arrived from Belgium, Store to Door via DPD in 41 Hours!!! All for 7 Euro's.

Must be Xmas ... normally I ship to UK (daughter/son) by DHL and it takes 2 days door to door (why Parcelforce? DHL is normally all DHL)
UK -> Germany is much looonger normally
However, have found that retailer doesn,t always actually pass to DHL (Deutsche Post) when they say .. often means its waiting for pickup!

I too am waiting for my Box ... it did a trip round Germany too (with DHL) and now apparently its sitting at the Royal Mail National Hub in Coventry (since 07:37 yesterday - Thursday) ... then it has to get to me in Belfast via Stansted Airport and Titan Airways Royal Mail flights every night!!! Arggh!!! Come on Parcel Force!!!

Hi,
it is worth waiting for:-)
Mine is only running for 2 hours. At the moment I transfer some films to the box with around 85MByte/sec:-)

Wow good for you ... enjoy!! Now I really want mine to show up!!! lol

Can you shed any light on its performance, etc??

Thanks.

Hi,
what do you expect? It feels a bit faster than Solo2 or Duo2 but not so much that you loose consciousness. It about same speed as my Solo4K.

I feel you, like i said i work in logistics and why it didn't go from Regensburg to Köln is beyond me, it wasted nearly 2 days by being buffeted to Bielefeld, a DHL hub which if you Google, lots of German people complain about.
Even if the box makes it to Liverpool during the night, them lazy buggers won't attempt to deliver it to West Manchester on a saturday.
(Yes amazingly my local Parcelforce depot is Liverpool )
