- Support DVB T2 Tuner(uno, ultimo, duo2)

Can someone explain more about this please.

Does it mean there is a DVB-T2 plugin tuner on the way or does it mean support for existing usb tuners ?

thanks

It looks that way as for USB-tuners no extra support is needed.

Hi vmax. Thanks for your efforts and for posting the fixes - the update looks like it would yield benefits

I have been reading back this thread and have seen some warnings from Rob about loading drivers without the kernel update. I have also checked http://archive.vuplus.com/download/drivers/ and I see the above files listed but no instructions

I have a Vu+ Solo2, and I have never had any luck with the FPGA method on the VU+ Solo 2?

I am in a quandary whether to ftp to \lib\modules\3.3.8-2.0\extra ?

I apologise for my questions, I don't know enough about the risk / benefits - perhaps you could take some time to explain a little please. Could you also point me to where I can find the current driver versions on ViX, or does this require a terminal command?

 

[Rob van der Does]

You can manually FTP the files to the mentioned folder and reboot your box.
Any kernel update was quite some time ago.
