Yes you can, my first tests with solo2 I used settings and configs from Duo for a quick test.
But I think sometimes it does not hurt to start with a fresh setup.

I have made a new Build of the BH image with the new dirvers and transcoding plugin.
I will leave the report to Ev0
Ok so I have only done a quick test so far, but I can confirm that the new transcoding function is working with my iPad
The quality is downgraded at the moment, but obviously this is still in very early beta stages, and i'm sure that the quality will get better with each update they do.
As for PIP, I have no issue's with getting 2 HD channels to work, on the same transponder or on a different transponder / satellite.
Ok, thanks. BH is freshed yesterday to my Duo, solo2 will arrive in couple of days

Ok I have a fixed dish on tuner A.
I just set tuner A as 28.2e, and set tuner B as loop through to tuner A.
I selected BBC 1 HD then activated PIP and selected BBC HD and both channels are working nice and smooth.

That is great news about transcoding. Can you confirm that it was outside of your home network, over the internet?
We're you able to change channels?
Thanks for the info.

Yes it will work from inside and outside of my home network, so also does work over the internet with the correct ports open. It also works via 3g (although this obviously isn't perfect).
The BlackHole Team is obviously well prepared for the solo2.
I'm glad to be part of this community..
If only I had this wonder box..but I still love my ultimo and will upgrade to the duo2.
Bravo A Great Team!!!

What about playing ISO images of DVD, BD and BD-3D movies:
- Does 3D work with all variants (left/right swap, Menu's with/without JAVA, Menu's being 3D themselves)?
- Can external subtitle files be used with these images? If yes which formats?
- Is there support for FULL MENU processing for DVD/BD. Current DVD Menu support is minimal/basic) with DVD player?
Support of the above via HDMI 1.4 means it is a real media player next to a STB.

Good answer. Thanks!
Adding new functionality in smaller steps is a solid strategy. Will be waiting patiently for futher expansions.
Anyway waiting for the DUO2
but these will be similar if not identical.
