My VU+ Uno review

[Larry-G]

Ordered my one from World-of-satellite on Friday. Just waiting for this Baby to arrive.

congratulations on your new purchase, you wont be disappointing with the Uno when it arrives.

Hi guys for the slower simplistic ones like me, what are the main noticable differences between the uno and solo? Also is there any news on the release of the ultimo as I am waiting to upgrade my duo, thanks

Solo spec here http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...llite-Receiver

Uno spec here http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...llite-Receiver

The features the Uno has over the Solo are: -

Front Display
Option to fit Internal SATA HDD
More powerful CPU Broadcom BM7413
More Ram
Dual Card readers
Rear eSata port
F Type loop through
Removable power cord

You really cant compare the Solo to the Uno, the Uno is in a different league.

Exact release date for the Ultimo has not been announced yet.

I am not allowed to show pictures from the first test serie UNO.
When the final version arrives here this week I can make some pictures.

Is there already a VIX image avilable for the UNO? Nothing found in the board so far...

Anyway, great box and running very well, also with VTi 3.0

I have some issues with startup, but I will ask this later when the VIX image is finished.
With VTI, my box can't be started from deep sleep mode.
But, as I said before, I have not yet the final hardware version.

Been playing around with the Uno remote. The multi-funtion part of it works well. Set the code on the remote to control my TV, so can now use the Uno remote to control the following functions on my TV: -

Power on/off
Volume
A/V inputs

Out of interest, does it work like the sky remote, where the volume is the tv, no matter what (i.e. not the satellite volume at all), or do you have to press the tv button like on the et9000/dreambox remotes?

[Sicilian]

Works like a sky remote, the volume is always the TV volume

Does the Uno remote interfere with the Duo, or are they completely separate codes?

[pooface]

From what I remember reading, it can act as either. U can set up codes to be same as duo/solo, or have as seperate codes...

I'll need to look into that, you got me thinking now.

Ok, I just wanted to know before buying one as it would be in the same room as the Duo.
