Interesting, it's arm (not mips32el). They're not mentioning the manufacturer in the brochure.

 

I am also very interested as to whether they're using a proper LCD now, or it's a photo frame once again.

The only thing what I hope is that Vu makes the required changes required for 4K in a structured way.....

What is the main chip exactly ?

 

They're running e2 on an ARM cpu ? is it stable and recent (not old version of e2 with old DVB API) ? because I saw e2 on Golden Media HyperCube with PNX8496 chip and MaxDigital E2BMC with PNX8471 chip they're not stable

 

And when I saw PrismCube i was disappointed again to see something like HyperCube and E2BMC, cheap chip and old kernel

Afaik they use BCM7252 or BCM7262 and afaik that's arm chips. Yes, e2 is running on that box. Which version, kernel and so on I don't know. Some guy showed the menu and so on. I didn't have the opportunity to control the box by myself.
It's still alpha or perhaps beta. So you cannot say much to how stable the box is.

This article suggests it will be the BCM7251

That "some guy" was Jay ;)

 

The LCD is accessible via a Linux framebuffer device and/or using the mechanism that is used for "normal" VFD screens (I couldn't exactly understand what Jay meant in this respect), so you can easily make skins for it. Also you can watch TV on it, not with the lcd4linux "stutter tv" method, where the framebuffer is grabbed and sent to the display, but using a direct hardware connection, it's supposed to go smoothly. I don't think it was as smooth as on you tv set, but much much better than stutter-tv.

 

OTOH the quality of the LCD screen is just as bad as on the Duo2. Only viewable from exactly right in front.

I hope they can make PLi's enigma2 compatible with new ARM chips (kernel 3) so we could say goodbye to Mipsel chips, It's time for powerful chips and new architecture, ARM is the real deal

 

And I hope again they let go of old dreambox enigma2 which belongs to enigma2 museum, If I see Solo 4K with the old enigma2 I'm gonna smash my head against the wall definitely but if I see it with new PLi's enigma2 oh baby I'm gonna sing for you till morning :D

Yes, at least as far as it was ready to show. Switching between two FTA ultra HD channels was fast as lightning.

Mijn schotel is een T90 met 10 LNB's. Daarnaast voor de fun nog een draaibaar systeem met een Triax TD 78.

Dreamboxen heb ik niet meer echt actief. Verder heb ik ook nog een een VU+ duo2 met 500Gb harddisk + een VU+ Uno, Zero, Solo 4K, Ultimo 4K, Zero 4K, Uno 4Kse. + ook nog een Xtrend ET7x00. Daarnaast heb ik ook nog diverse andere modellen w.o. een Formuler F4, ET8500, ET7500, Mut@nt 2400HD, Xsarius Fusion HD se en verder nog wel het e.e.a. waarmee op verzoek vanalles wordt getest. Iemand moet het tenslotte doen. ;) :)
Los van de eerder genoemde modellen heb ik nog wel een rits aan testsamples als Mut@nt 2400HD, HD60, GB UE4K, GB Trio4K, Maxitec Multibox combo en Twin, Octagon sf8008, sf8008 mini en last but nog least enkele modellen van het Grieks Duitse Edision.

Voor centrale opslag van media gebruik ik een Qnap 219P 
met tweemaal 2 Tb harddisks + een Synology DS414 met 12 Tb Totale opslag.

8 tuner (or were it 9?) in e2. Littlesat you can start adapting your skin :D
Regarding tuner: The 2 dvb-s2 tuner(full band capture tuner) can (with special LNB) tune 8 different transponder. With normal LNB you have 2 + 6*loopthrough.

In my skin it is just a string.... So easy to adapt... I just have to find a different location where it fits...:)
The available and select tuner stuff in the enigma2 cpp stuff is another thing that needs to be adapted.... And note this part is at this moment some kind of mess....this is some part op software in e2 that could require some "complete" revision.

Hello, i have ordered a Solo 4k today from shopping for sat, at the checkout there was an option for pre-install of openpli or self install, i chose self install, is there an image ready for download?

Want to be on it as soon as the box arrives.

Thank You.
