I forgot the best dreambox app for IOS if you have a jailbroken device is xbmc. the picture quality is better and you dont get any lipsync issues. The negative side is it takes a while to read all the bouquet data when starting the app. Also the buttons can be a little small if you are watching on anything other than ipad such as an iphone.

Also noticed the start of the thread said vu solo2 so no need to use vlc to transcode anyway ;-)
