    It's actually a BCM7346 tuner. The box is superb. Couldn't be happier with the box, it's whisper quiet, runs cool, looks the part and I have to say the remote control is comes with is really nice although I use my harmony one with it.

    Had a few doubts about purchasing due to the limited activity in the forums here, but tbh apart from the issue above which is very easily resolved, I've had no complaints about it at all. Worth every penny in my opinion.

    As for the tuners themselves, I've yet to have any issues or glitching. Even when watching TV and streaming to my XBMC box over the network. Zapping is pretty fast, but not lightning quick. The interface itself is pretty snappy though as long as using the original remote.

    That's correct, the issue with the tuner is fixed in the OpenATV build I mentioned in my post although I haven't attempted the workaround Sicilian provided it certainly sounds as if it is the same issue.

    I'm not sure if your statement around the Solo2 is correct, according to Wikipedia the Solo2 uses the BCM7356 chip whereas the Gigablue uses BCM7346. However, I can vouch for the tuner quality as it really is superb. Extremely high signal and quick to lock. Coming from a DM800HD which was fairly poor, this is an amazing tuner. Tuner B is a plug-and-play tuner, I will post a screenshot later this evening.
