Can I ask a few things:-

Am I correct in thinking the clone version of Solo2 SE doesn't support changeable tuners (ie C/T2)?

Is the HDD still internal?

Is the remote still as problematic as other clones and can it work TV's like original remotes?

Thanks

This is a solo2 clone sort of it is a se of solo2 mini clone.
This nor genuine have changeable tuners..the remotes are always a pain but they work and so do genuine remotes work with these boxes.
Yes hard drive can be fitted internally
 
I'd like to ask you to explain me in which way can I, using BBS tools with RS232, to record wrongly updated image?
want to know if this procedure, which I'd like you to explain me, would be possible on the reciever mini solo2 or is that only a privilege for the new mini solo 2 se? Thank you.

No idea.dont have a clue yet..not seen anything ref this.
It is for solo2 mini se only and it's for re flashing chip if it's wiped by vu anti clone measures
 
Kindly tell me does it has led display at front panel or it has also single led ?

Box is exactly the same as solo2 no display one led.. except for the ability to reflash chip via serial port if chip gets wiped by anti clone measures.however just had a message from seller saying if box bricks you need to replace chip...you can take out chip and put in another no need to solder..so god knows what it really is.
 
I am still confused .In case if box bricks,ability to reflash chip via serial port
and I want to update to reciever, not by repleicing the chip, but with rs232 cable, what do I need to do step by step? Do I need some specific file or image from you official site which I need to update with this rs232 cable? What actually is ment by BBS tools? And where can I actually find it?
 
@AJT what image comes with the solo se clone ? also i asked today dealer & said they will upload images to vu-hd (clone patched images) site , price around 120$ , but the only 2 points we want to know now , is there be a supported safe (patched) images for this clone box? , is this port 232 really will save our :Moon: from dowing hardware work such replacing chip & ...etc , no one still know

got this from seller L&w
Dear Anthony,
Really sorry for your information
The rs232 port is for you to update the image and can can record flash,yes,it is the another function of the new receiver,
But if you want to change the chip.,you needn't to welding by other tools,you just take it out,it is the two functions.
hope you could understand.
Please don't worry,ok.
Tahnks for your support and understanding.
Have a nice day.
sincerely wendy

Edit I have asked for my order to be cancelled..every time I ask them a question they tell me not to worry yet never giving me a straight answer to simple questions about the box..

We know it's not the same..with SE
They say you can just swap out the flash chip.
They say you can reflash the flash chip if it gets wiped.
They say you can upgrade image via rs232

I don't know what's for real or how to do what they say can be done..I asked how do I flash the flash chip if it gets wiped they told me you just change the chip..so do we just pop to maplin and get a new one and why do you need to swap it out if like they say you can flash the chip..
Where are the clone safe SE images they say they have..I asked them to put on Vix and they could not..only blackhole 2.10..sod them..

of coarse as usuall they dont care about what u gona get or what u need or what trouble u will fall in , coz chinese seller is a money collector they neeed to suck ur money & give u a crap unknow thing as usuall which later on u will through it in the trash , i believe that this box as i read in aliexpress is an upgrade type of solo mini coz it looks also same , so they may have too much of this crap mini solo in the stock so they decided to make a new marketing term to sell thses boxes , so they came out with solo2 SE which is originaly same as solo2 mini or solo mini but with new drama marketing story :)
 
We seem to have reached the end of the tunnel. I totally agree @ fankoosh, if time does not deny me. I think new features in solo 2 are a lie. The only difference is the eSATA . I'd be wrong, because I like this receiver's hardware, excluding bad remote control and of course the time bomb that should not be bypassed.
 
Yep i cancelled my order..seller would not answer my questions just gave me a load of dribble..
everything good please don't worry..,as has already been said its a load of rubbish being able to re-flash the chip and or unclip it and replace with new one.Even with the box only being around £90.00 it wont be any good if it bricks as soon as you power it on..
 
Afternoon lads my mate only got his tracking number last night so he won,t be getting his box this week for sure , and AJT have you noticed some sellers have changed info on there pages saying these boxes can run original software now but when me and me mate were looking on thursday it did,nt state this so mybe we will get v4 upgrade for the flash chip fingers crossed some sort of fix will be released . regards dubliner

They all say original software..but that could mean pre 2014 images etc..the image they ship with is normally blackhole 2.10...let's face it it can not as is...run latest original images as there is the new anti clone measure as soon as you connect box it will brick if it has latest original image..
