Ultimo vs duo??

Ev0, hope you don't mind...thanks for the video

It does work with VIX, but not fully, as you say some key mappings are out on it (might contact shamann and see if he can make it fully compatable).

I have tried the VIX HD night skin (default skin on ultimo) and I agree it is nice, but HD Glass is my fav lol.

Would be nice if it was fully compatible with VIX but not sure if he can get to that stage, might need to liaise with Andy.

Nah thats fine mate.

Yeh he might not even be interested as I believe he uses Azbox or something similar.

But he did fix it for BH 1.6.7 beta2 when I asked him, as it was totally incompatable with that.

Ok got the box working again, had to flash it back to blackhole, go through the setup part and then it let me fully reflash it and vix is up and running again for the moment

From what I can see, only 13°e and 19°e are covered.

Nothing at all from 28.2°e.

I will check some of the other main sats in a while to be certain.

yes even some of the standard picon packs from some very popular guys are now rather lacking in support for 28.2 east, so not sure how oled picons are going to fare.

[Ev0]

Right just checked and it is only 13°e and 19°e that have oled picons so far.

Nothing on any other sats (and I get pretty much all sats from 57°e - 45°w).

Looks like you're much older then I had guessed

Just a matter of time

I disagree with that statement, the casing is of the same quality as the Duo.

The case lid feels like lighter grade of steel over the Duo though ? Perhaps it's just me.

I understand it's all personal preference and each to their own. It's what's under the lid that counts !

Soon Vu+ owner here. Have been running a homemade PC PVR the past 7 years. GBPVR from analogue to digital NextPVR. TT1500 card with CI/Cam. Works fairly well.

Anyway, want something fresh to play with, get HD channels and be able to record/see more than one prog at a time. Therefore I'll be getting a Duo or Ultimo at the end of the month. Will be putting up a dual LNB and the second lead for the second tuner. However, trying to justify the added cost of the Ultimo....

The sensible option is go for the Duo, good price and proven.
The nerd in me says the Ultimo. Can upgrade to a 3rd tuner, faster and might play my existing 2GB of movies. better than a Duo??? Thinking of hooking up an external drive with this stuff. Thoughts?

As for image, probably go with Vix as this site seem to offer a lot of help. I understand that this site is the Vix developers site right?
