where to buy a solo 2 genuine

You can buy a genuine solo2 from our forum sponsor here buddy: http://www.world-of-satellite.…-Linux-Satellite-Receiver

And yes you will need to put a dish up if you don't have one already.....

The Vu+ Uno, Vu+ Ultimo and Vu+ Duo2 can all accommodate a cable tuner card.

whats a good cable receiver ?

Depends on what you want to spend? If you are looking for a twin tuner box then the vu uno is of no use as there is no twin catv module available at this time and there does not appear to be any plans for 1 either,ultimo will take 3 x single catv tuners or the more expensive duo2 will handle 2 x single catv tuners.

I would recommend a Venton HD2 with twin catv tuners,the box is reasonably priced and has great specs...its not as well supported as the Vu range but then again what box is !

There is also the dreambox range: dm800 se or sunray cable version with a single tuner but personally i would prefer the uno over that box if a single tuner is all that is required.

Btw dont expect to put your Virgin card into a linux receiver with a catv tuner and have all channels at your disposal,,no no no...specialist tools and knowledge will be required to get that card going so i would advise that you do some research before committing yourself to a shiny new receiver that will only give you freeview tele basically.
