My Review of the VU+ Duo2 FTA Receiver

[el bandido]

"Can't help but wonder if a second atsc usb tuner can be added?"
Did you ask Angel?

Here is his reply:

About ATSC device numbers I think it's possible to add it more than one like with DVB USB devices but actually it0s not very improtant this aspect of implementation.

They are running more than one DVB USB tuner so I may buy a second ATSC USB and test it after the first one is proven to work.

LOL, now to find the time to watch all those recordings! My wife still has some recordings on her PVR she hasn't watched yet, which were recorded over a year ago...lol Hey, as long as she's happy....

I know the feeling.
The Raptor has about 18 gig free out of the 1TB total. Probably more than half of that will never be watched.
The Duo2 has no problem playing files from the Raptor, but I have not been successful connecting the Raptor to the Duo2.

Does the Duo2 have DLNA also to connect?

The Duo2 scans your network and tells you what is available. It is extremely easy with the Duo2. I will try to post some pictures of how this is done.

To look for available networks, enter the Network Browser

It is also possible to do an IP scan. I used this to find the Raptor.

Here are some image or firmware notes from OpenVIX. Note what is written about the Solo2.

I like that network scan, very well done.

So, with Openvix no blindscan on Solo2, didn't see anything mentioned for Duo2.

[el bandido]

Just wanting to pimt out that the Solo2 seems to have blind scan issues. I do not know why, but support for blindscan on the Solo2 seems to have problems regardless of the image.

Recent OpenVIX images have refined the blindscan for the Duo2, and I find it to be acceptable. OpenVix blindscan for the Duo2 works on all tuners that I have tested it on. A recent blindscan of 72W can be seen below.
