Hi guys..
I just got my new Ultimo tonight..
I had to swap one of my Duo`s and one of my Solo`s to get it from a friend of a friend.. ( Who did not like the Ultimo at all.. He thought it was a waste of money ) .. What a fool.. lol
Had it up and running in 10 minutes.. with Vix 2.3 on it.. As he had that blackhole crap on it.. ( Sorry.. Not my cup of tea at all.. )
1st impressions are fantastic.. And seems to be alot more stable than the Duo or Solo Vix images..
I always had small niggley problems with the Vix 2.3.204 on the Duo`s and Solo`s.. Like softcams not starting after rebooting.. They had to be manually done after each reboot.. Even when i had edited the relevent text in my mg_cfg files..
Im delighted that this is not the case with the Ultimo.. Everything has been perfect so far.. Ultimo has been rebooted at least a dozen time.. and softcam starts 1st time everytime by itself.. ( No manual start needed.. )
Just one small thing i have noticed.. Im using the Vu+ wireless dongle.. ( Great piece of kit.. ) works flawlessly.. and so easy to set up.. But when i went to insert my usb stick for picons and EPG.. The screen started to go black for 5 seconds.. and then picture would come back again for 5 seconds and then black again.. and so on..
I used the HP USB Disk Storage formatting tool to do a format of the USB pen and this seems to have cured the problem for now anyway..
So as you can see.. im am totally delighted with the Ultimo.. and will defo be replacing my Duo`s over the coming months.. ( I know i had a moan about the price a few months back.. But i honestly am so pleasently surprised how good this machine actually is.. I wish i had purchased it months ago.. )
Now.. All i need is the 3rd tuner.. And 4 more Vu+ wireless dongles.. So gonna have to pay Stefan a wee visit on WOS site to order more bits..
Wife will be impressed.. lol
I will give you more updates as i have a play with this fantastic piece of kit..
