Dont expect XBMC on Ultimo. CPU is weak and its MIPS arhitecture.
XBMC will run on totally different receivers with (probably) X86 CPUs.

Hi, What is XBMC as i am waiting to purchase the Ultimo, also do they do a plugin freesat tuner for the Ultimo or is it just freeview tuner? as i would like 2 x satellite & freesat if possible.

Freesat is just a satellite tuner anyway... So you well need 3 x satellite...

During the "Amsterdam day" VU+ has announced to be working on XMBC (see attachment).
But for sure the Ultimo will be released before XMBC is ready.........

Am i right in thinking this will replace Enigma2, if so will older satellite receivers be able to upgrade to XBMC.

If VIX is not supporting the Ultimo then it looks like it will have to come of my xmas list and stick with the DUO.

Mate where in my post or any others does it say we won't be supporting it?

We currently support all of the VU+ series so that is a good indication.

When asked if there was a Vix image ready for the Ultimo, if not when will it be available, i took your answer, We support the VU+ SOLO DUO UNO as NO, my mistake if i got it wrong.

Does 3 winks mean there is a Vix image ready, or 3 winks there will be one soon.

3 winks means that until the box is released there will be no image released. The same was true of the Uno. we honestly can not say any more.

To prevent any misunderstandings: ViX will support the Ultimo.

FTR -
I have used versions of XBMC since xbox1...it is, imho, THE best media player ever....yes, there are many other platforms but for me, the fact it will play files from 'rars' has always been a winner for me!
IF this happens, I mean XBMC for VU+(even if only for ULtimo) i will be ready to SELL the 3 x Acer Revos running Linux versions of XBMC we use around the house to pay for one!! haha

VU+ & XBMC >= HEAVEN!!

lol
Dok
NB: I will be ready to serve as tester as i'm prolly gonna get an Ultimo anyways :D
