hi all
would like to know you're views on these boxes and which one you'd recommend
 
EVERY Enigma2 based receiver has some bugs or glitches, its in the nature of the beast, as well as the 'sloppy' coding that holds it all together. Enigma2 has evolved from many different 'ported' versions of code, so, its inevitable that somewhere, something will clash. The decision to be made, is the compromise between KNOWN bugs, price, and the possibly unknown issues that may be faced.

The TM range of receivers AND the Vu range, have their own bugs, the newer xxx2 range, have more known, but not as commonly publicised (as this would affect sales) bugs.

the Solo2, costing around £320, is only able to use one of its dual cores, the high speed dual core processor is one of its main selling points, but, to date, is not fully available to use, there was also postings about recording issues and memory leak problems, admittedly, ive not personally been able to fully follow the progress of these bugs for a while due to being removed from some places, but while viewing as a guest via a proxy, it still seems that this is in fact the case

the TM range of receivers (with the 2T being ~£100 less than the solo2) has as much flash, but a slower processor, but, is able to use both available cores, there is some random issues with recording, which people have trouble replicating to try and fix, some people have issues with some images, some with all images, some no issues at all

its down to the end user to weigh up how much they want to spend, compared to the known, and disclosed issues that each receivers has, and EVERY receiver has some
 
from a shear speed issue having played with both I would say the solo2 is much faster but is it worth the extra cost? ...... up to each individual to answer that really.

I'm happy with mine though and if you purchase from a germany seller you should only pay about £285
 
i have both a TM-Twin not the same as the T2 but similar chipset and a Solo2 and the solo2 spanks the Tm-Twins arse big time
 
thanks for your input guys. made my mind up going solo
 
I have a solo 2 and in my mind it is a very very good box, also lots of images/plugins available
 
thanks to all for your help i am waiting for delivery of the solo 2.looking forward to a new toy
 
Good Choice, you will love it mate. I have openpli image on mine, its clean, simple and rock steady. Give it a try. I know a lot people will say vix, but personally I could not get my head round the vix image
 
dont really know much about images ,setting up etc. but a lot of people seem to be using 'vix' or 'blackhole'
 
blackhole all the way,regards mdt

Hi I just purchased the VU + solo2 and it is is superfast then the technomate tm 2t. In addition, the technomate tm2 2t stalls somes times and pauses on channels this does not occur on vu + solo 2. Over all the picture and spped of the box are far more superior than the technomate. I would definately save up the extra and buy the VU+ solo2
