Thinking of buying a solo 2

1) I have moved from a sly box to Solo 2, picture quality is great so if you are moving from a solo to a solo 2 I doubt you will be dissapointed.
2) See above.
3) Moving from a conventional sly box to this is not the easiest but since you have the solo I imagine you will not have any issues. I am using the Openvix image which has plug ins to sort out satalite freqencies and automatic downloads of EPG's such that even series link works a treat!

Bottom line, just buy it!

Is there an option for reducing the bitrate? I am trying to get the transcoding to work, it is great quality until it starts clitching...

Hi,

not on the Solo2 up to now. I have my doubts that it will be possible in the near future. The PQ of reencoded TV is good enough for smart phones and small tablets like my galaxy tab 7 but not more.

Maybe that option will be available when they release the duo2? I watch the rugby on the tablet and at times have a hard time seeing where the ball is as the picture goes a bit blocky at times.
I've also tried hooking it up to a telly whilst on holiday, but gave up as picture quality was awful.

I have used Amiko Alien 2 for 3 months. It simply is not stable enough to run enigma properly. I have been using dreambox for 2 years and never spent this much time in front of it like I did on alien 2. Finally I had to ditch it and get solo2. So far so good. Sometime I get this nagging from my inside that the picture quality is not as good as alien 2; but I could be imagining it.

Jugulator and you tried all latest ones like I said the one from xxxxxxxx? Or have stopped using while ago yh I heard picture is superb

Right that's me convinced it has to be a solo2 need to put some more cash by and wait. Hopefully in the next few weeks

Be aware that the Solo2-transcoding has several limitations. Please make sure (by asking users) if the box does what you expect in that area before buying. And if it doesn't: await the DUO2. That box can transcode without limitations (as it is done in hardware).

yes i'd highly recommend the solo2, so much so that i bought one my self and its now my primary receiver over all my others.

Would you say it was faster than an Xtrend 9x00 in real life?

Also I don't quite understand the transcoding issue>????

thanks

I have never used a xtrend receiver but compared to my ultimo the solo 2 is lightning fast, i can crash the solo2 and have it back up and running in 14 seconds, now thats may not sound like much but believe me it's a huge improvement in speed.

as for transcoding, to be honest i have never bothered with that as it frankly does not interest me.
