This stick will work when we release the next vix image which will be based on linux Kernel Version: 3.1.1 for the Vu+ boxes :thumbsup:

cant say when the image will be released but its not that far off now just doing some final beta testing now

actually they are not plug and play on vix as any image you will need to use the sundtek.controlcentre from the VIX feeds in dvb section

Bloody hell! That's quick as Vix 2.3 has only just been pushed out the door. Looking forward to the new kernel and all that it brings.

Hope you guys take some time off and enjoy the festive season.

Does the Sundtek DVB-S2 tuner only work with Sky UK or does it work with all European providers?



Is the Sundtek DVB-S2 good/reliable and does it work well with the VU+ Duo?

Not got one but its only a tuner so as long as its pointed at a dish than it will scan whatever is coming down so will work in any country as long as the box has the drives installed.
