    Viasat is making some strange changes this days, has nothing to do with your card.
    Looking at some logs from Visat Baltic that i have there is changes being made. Same goes for Viasat Sweden
    this looks bad for our Viasat cards to use with non original box.

    Hi
    First of all, do you have Twin tuner or Triple tuner
    Do you have 2 cables or 3 cables running along into the box.


    If you have Twin or Triple tuner and have cables that runs in from dish to the box with 2 or 3 paralels cables, then try and sett up tuner same as
    but you can allso settup tuners individualy, i have Triple tuner with Quad lnb, i have 3 paralel cables into my box, that goes inti each tuner
    then under tuner seup i chose to configure tuners as seperatly and add Astra 2 at 28,2 as individual setup and all my recordings are fine

    talk about bad luck
    Now a friend of mine have gott the problem with Solo2 , he has flashed the box with the Lates BH he said.
    all he gets now is the power light / touch that shows there is some life in the box, otherwise it cannot be flashed or anything

    this problems i reported as long as 1 year back, when both my Solo2 boxes did had this symptom, back then i was made a fool and liar on that community using another nick there.
    i told them to their face that this was a BH problem back then, but they just banned me and wiped out my posting.


    Now i must say that this problem is not only with Solo2 but as you can see it is with Duo2, and Vu plus it self do not even replay to my e-mails
    this is why i,left their boxes and moved on to to Xtrend and other models of Enigma2


    Sorry to say mate, but seems you are left with a dead box, as you cannot get in contact with the box, the box is totaly blocked, even usb and rs232 are blocked.
    I am sure this needs to be sendt back to where you buy it, and hope they can fix this if they have the Jtag and the bootloader files, otherwise it is just a pile of junk :-(


    the problem here is that you cannot even use the Jtag as there are no files for jtag for Solo2 or Duo2.

    i have tested this box before and can foult this, it is quick, it is nice , and tuners are good as long as i can remember.
    you say other tuners have 95 to 100 % signal strength, what boxes are those ?
    there is no way to get 100% signal, so this is just SW lies from thos boxes, if you try and have an sat meter you will see this.


    Anyway, MB Premium Ultra should be more then good, and tunes shall be good to.
    what image are you running on it ? Maybe you have got faulty tuners, i have heard of faulty tuners for DVB-T2 , but have not heard or read anywhere about sat tuners with problems

    From yor list i will chose the GB QUAD PLUS or Xtrend 8000 HD
    this is becouse you get more for the price in my opinion.


    I my self will say go for Xtrend 8000 HD, fantastic receiver and very good hardware and build quality
    you can have more choises, like 2 cable/terresial tuners and 1 satellite, or 2 satellite and 1 cable / terresial.


    Nothing bad with Vu+ or Mut@nt realy, just the price diference :-)

    Hehehe yeep i did it only for you :-) and if i have time tomorow i will see if i can digg out some old DM and some other stuff, acctualy was nice to see some old things in my collection :-)


    that is not even half the garbage i have manage to buy over the years, but this is an hobby. It is like fishing, if you are hooked then you are going to fish for life, same with me and sat hobby i was hooked for life and i spend all my hard earned money on testing. Offcourse over the years this is becoming like an nightmare as im so focused to test out new boxes :-(


    Nono, TM and Clarketech have never made Enigma2 boxes on same factory :-) TM uses Iqon, while CT used Xtrend
    and acctualy the Clarke has nothing more common with Xtrend. Xtrend is on it is own nowdays.


    In the beggining i was so against the Clarke-Tech with their ET 9000 , as they have had an big mountain with problems, but since Xtrend is on it is own then everything has changed to the best, in my opinion :-)


    TM and Clarke-tech made other non Enigma2 boxes on Hub-tech :-) while Enigma2 boxes from TM, Edison, New Megasat , and some other OE Brands they are all made on DAGS :-)



    Nowdays im not si exited anymore with Enigma2 boxes, they do not offer anything new anymore, but for an average guy that likes to see tv and have some more things to explare then Enigma2 is fun.
    For more advanced guys then there is not much out there that makes you realy be exited :-(


    I was very very extited about the Wetek, but even that is an Exellent box for the money, but not as much exited as i would like it to be.



    I wish there will be some thing new soon, as im getting bored to death :-) need new box to put my hand on, there have not been anything exited for the last 5 years on the sat sceene
    everthing seems to have just stop and stay still.

    Sometimes it is the USB fault , and you maybe need to try 3-4 diferent type of USB, has happend to me on other boxes.
    I do not have the Zegma, but im worth a try with another usb.


    Have you cheeked the bootlaoder ?

    Just what i could digg out of the dusts :-) there are more boxes out there that i can make picture off, that i have not used in a while
    I have to digg dipper but im sure in the atic there is more boxes :-) this in the picteu is the one that i have in my test bench atm :-)


    Comparing is carring :-) and life for an old rusty guy like me is not much fun without testing boxes, and lnbs or installing some odd dish setup


    Fano, Xtrend is made in South Korea :-)

    Realy guys, common , tell me what is good about the TM the Edison.
    what is TM Nano 3T Basen on, maybe the Iqon Force ????? and you tell me that is a good box, hahhahahhah
    Nothing agains TM or Edison, but they lack the power to be compared with Vu+ or Xtrend or Gigablue or any other comon Enigma2 box. Even Formuler is much much beter then boxes from IQON Facroty.


    I have no other agenda and no drive and no need to push any product here, this is my humble opinion. Im NOT like some one that try to hide behind the username.
    And i have tested many boxes to be made fool and belive the boxes made from IQON are good



    Please tell me what agenda do i have ?? are you acusing me for having some intrest behind Xtrend or what. and if so how can you backuo your accusations ?
    I give a tos about Xtrend or Vu+ or Edison or TM or any other box brand , and do not care, in my eyes OE brands than produces boxes from IQON factory are pile of shit



    I have no need to move stock or no need to have an Agenda behind my posting, as im not in here to sell or buy, but being in the sceen since 30 more years then i know to how to spot an rotten egg from the good one :-)


    And if i was an Fanboy then i would not have tested so many boxes and own right now at list 7 Enigma2 boxes right now from diferent facrories :-)
    What makes a fanboy hahahha when he owns many different boxes from diferent sources :-) do i still am an fanboy now that i have no 2 similar boxes in my collection.


    why do you make this a personal thing and not come with good arguments :-) i do not like personal attacks but im open to a god discustion on diference on the boxes


    excuse my leangue as English is not my leangue but i hope you read bettwen the lines and understand :-)

    Realy ?
    I then appologize as i did not know they have come with that now lateøly
    Would you please lett me know what image has support for Kodi as you say Real Kodi, not addon. I would love to try that out on an Vu+ box
    The addon we are taloking about was first introduced to Xtrend :-)


    If Vu+ have the real Kodi then plz just lett me know what image has that so i can test out thanks.


    The kodi/xbmc which you get with vu+ is almost the real kodi/xbmc experience (it lacks the pvr addon function), not the kodi direct addon in xtrend boxes.




    Ekkostar, is nothing personal mate, it is just an opinion, and belive me i have tested all Enigma2 boxes.
    Vu+ reminds me at the days when DM ruled the marked, but is not as an overkill as many will like it to be.


    Vu+ maybe have most hyped and known box, but Xtrend is way superior in my opinion:


    Just look at the ET 10 000 HD anc compare the data to the Duo2 and you will see what i mean.


    I think it is good to discust what is and not with this boxes, it is good for our hobby to discust and learn from eachother, maybe there are things i have not tested or heard, or maybe there is new functions that have been added.



    anyway, if i was to buy a new box now it will not be an Vu+

    ekkostar
    Please tell me what is better on Solo2 that is not in ET 8000 HD
    Please tell me what is better on Duo2 that is not in ET 10 000 HD


    I have tested both Solo2, Duo2, Ultimo, Uno, Duo, SoloSE, Solo, Zero, actualy all the Vu+ models
    then i have tested all the Xtrend moldes, from 4000, 5000, 6000, 6500, 700, 70500, 9000, 9200, 9500, 8000, 8500, and 10 000.
    I would tell you that Xtrend is a much better machine in my opinion, and the reason is simple, stable, better pic, better drivers in my oppinion, , Exchange tuners for most models. Copy protected.


    I can allso say that there are boxes like HD2400 HD , or Miraclebox that are even beter then Vu+.


    Anyway to chose a box is a bit perosnal preference.


    asaphus1 Kodi / xbmc was first introduced on Xtrend, the Vu+ Copy that :-) ask and loo


    The only thing you do not find in Xtrend s only black hole, but then again you find other image that you do not get for Vu+.



    @Lader49
    Do not buy one of them boxes, they are realy shitty boxes, same as TM boxes, and Iqon boxes, same shit from same factory

    there is no more support for Vu+ then it is for Xtrend.
    I would recomend you to go for Xtrend realy. Briliant box and in my opinion has beter picture quality. 100% original boxes and not possible to be copied :-)
    Support is good and most major image builders support Xtrend. there is more then you need with Xtrend. the only minus i can see is the disegn but that is upto everyone to diside


    I for one have tested many Linux/ Enigma2 boxes but still xtrend is the box i like :-)
