VU+ 4k

[Huevos]

The tuner slot takes standard Vu+ tuner cards. So you could a twin DVB-C/T2 hybrid.

I have a sony 4k tv, with a vu+ duo, SD picture is terrible.

got a solo 4k coming today, so will see what the difference is when it arrives

It could be you don't have deinterlace set correctly on your Sony tv, my samsung has 2 settings, one more suited to SD, one more suited to HD, it is sometimes called film mode.

Fitted a dish for a customer a few days ago. Customer had a brand new Bravia 4K. Using the internal DVB-S tuner picture quality was horrendous on SD channels and HD channels weren't much better. Couldn't find any way to adjust the set to improve things. SD channels from terrestrial were similar quality. No way I could recommend this make or model to anyone, unless this example was faulty.

As with all things, just stating I have a 4k TV is no indication of quality, I've seen them for £399 I seriously doubt the SD picture on them is any good.

i have already spent quite some time in showrooms looking at 4k tvs. and i'm not impressed by the sd and hd quality either.
however, the 4k demo material looks awsome.

Hi,

has anyone tried the Solo4k with a cable tuner just wondering if you get more than 1 or 2 feeds with the single and dual vu+ tuners as i know the sat tuner is supposed to give you 8 feeds with an appropriate LNB

no change for cable. 1 Tuner = 1 frequency and 2 Tuner = 2 frequencies. Only the build in sat-tuner have the FBC advantage.

never tried the internal tuners on it.

but the picture quality from HD sources that I have tried, is absolutely stunning.

the biggest drawback with the 2015 bravia range is the android operating system was not fit for release when they went on sale. and many many issues still exist. it appears that the hardware they have used to run the operating system, is not upto the job.

Well if you mean High street showrooms then i'm surprised they didn't burn your eyes out, by default dynamic mode and mpeg processing and all the other rubbish is enabled, there is no way SD or HD interlaced will look good, 1080p blu-ray, wow that is another matter my Pioneer BDP-LX58 makes a decently mastered blu-ray look better than any 4k source i have seen upto now, including the demo channels, the imax cut of Transformers age of ultron is astonishing.
Can't wait for UHD blu-ray, money waiting here, c'mon.

But if you are creative you can still record upto 8 channels from a dual cable tuner on VM.

I splashed out on the Solo4k having Solo2 and Zeros complementing it. I find the FBC tuner very handy, not as many conflicts on timers or watching via iPads etc. I don't have a 4K tv yet but the Astra Demo UHD channel is impressive on my 1080p screen.

you can also record 10-12 if you find the correct frequencies but this is also possible with Ultimo or Duo2 with 2 Tuner. It is also possible with receiver from competitors:-)
