Vu+ Ultimo 4 Tuners?

Vu+ Newbie
Can the Vu+ Ultimo triple tuner box also support a forth tuner in the USB port at the same time?
2 x DVB-S + 2 x DVB-T

Will the Blackhole image support such a configuration?
Can the hardware do it?

I have read another member here has 4 tuners, but was having issues with one of the DVB-T tuners whilst recording from the other.

Thank you :)

yes i think it can! if you don't need it now i'll suggest you to wait the dual dvb-s2 tuner from vu+ :D...for terrestrial you can use a usb tuner...a lot of models are supported!:)
 
Oh, there is going to be a One Slot Dual DVB-S2 tuner released soon?

So you could have 1 x Dual DVB-S2 and 2 x DVB-T tuners installed in the 3 slots?

supposed to be available to buy this year...if you search you can find also pictures of this in the forum:)
if you can not use a usb terrestrial tuner, you can use one dual dvb-s2 and in the other 2 slots two dvb-t or -c tuners...is very easy to unplug e plug !:D
 
Dani, here some pics about the tuner:

Thanks ilmago, yes i she they have a dual DVB-S tuner available in the new Solo 2.
Only just noticed.
Wow, a Dual DVB-S tuner and Dual DVB-T tuner in the new Duo 2 would be a great macchine.
Thats if they ever release a Dual DVB-T tuner :)

I hope it does...can't wait to change the DVB-T on my ultimo because the one integrated in my Samsung LCD performs better.

This is based on experience,the day my ultimo arrived,i set up the tuners and to my greatest disappointment,the dvb-t of the vu+ couldn't compete with that of my Samsung tv in picture quality.

I will agree with that also.
Tested on Sony Bravia 1080p.
HD on the Vu+ Ultimo is 90% of the Sony in picture quality, but it beats the Sony in zap speed.
SD on the Vu+ Ultimo is 70% of the Sony in picture quality, but once again, has a much faster zap speed.

Personally i see too many artefacts when using the Vu+ DVB-T, its too grainy, too sharp and is far more dependent on a true 1080p source being broadcast. Anything less (say an upscaled source) and the Vu+ looks poor compared to the Sony.
But i think that is to be expected.... The HD TV's have far more pre-stage circuitry, filters and converters.

I find it interesting that i don't noticed it as much with a true HD Sat broadcast though???

1080P on SAT transmissions doesen't exists.
On my country the Vu DVB-T tuner is good enought to beat a Samsung Full HD LCD (see in my signature) and all works properly.
I know there are some things to be fixed but it's already a good result (for me).
 
Ah... i stand very well corrected...
Thanks angelofsky1980

That would explain entirely why the Vu+ doesn't look as good as the Sony while watching TV... nothing ever does once it out of native res... yes i do run a few 1080p 30fps mkv's through the old girl too... they look great, but still with artefacts ;)

About artifacts, there is a driver issue.
If I have some spare time this weekend I will make some tests with Beta drivers released within the first 10th of August and I will report it.

Don,are you sure what you're talking about?...Is the dual tuner out or you meant the Vu+ DVB-T tuner?
