    ViX image for Solo2?

    Should be getting my solo 2 this week and was wondering if anyone knows when the ViX image will be released?

    sorry, but not at this time. Vu+ need to full-fill there promises, before any more new Vu+ machine images will be released.

    just so you know the issues are not with the box, i have vix running on solo2, but Vu+ keep breaking their promises in regarding support. (i even told them i did not want a solo2 to test on, but they sent one anyway, in the hopes i would just bow down and release an image.). so unless they start acting like a proper company, i will not be adding new machines.

    Thanks for the explanation. I hope vu+ see sense and make an effort to make amends.

    I hope the issues can be resolved, I don't think the solo2 would be the same without a vix image to go with it.

    I personally don't think VU will hit there targets with the new 2`s.. there are a lot of people including myself that run Vix on there Vu machines and love it.. IMO , no Vix image for solo2 then no sale , lots of boxes sitting on the shelf.. Bad move VU, go to dragons den and get some commercial help ..lol

    Personally & yes, I'm being biased here as a VIX beta tester, but I wouldn't buy a box that didn't have a VIX image.
    Hope they get their issues sorted soon as I'd love one of these boxes...

    What are the issues anyway? Not having a vix image wouldn't stop me from buying the box, but I would much prefer running vix to any other image. Are these issues likely to be resolved?

    vix image is nice, but not a deal breaker imo.

    the solo2 has some fantastic spec, so should be a good run on any half decent image.

    what promises have they failed to live up to regarding support? they havn't provided many drivers updates for past machines even the duo.

    I think thats a need to know basis bokkie, and we dont need to know .. , regarding images , yes its your preference to which image you use, but like cars , i wouldnt dream of buying what the next door neighbour has (opinions my friend)

    You have original images, VTi and BlackHole images, I am sure VIX will resolve the issue in due course.

    Yes probably far more than you think and I am a little confused on your comments.
