Yes, PIP works fine (If someone can say "fine" for the PiP support in VU's enigma2. It is so "ancient")
edit: frontends are 8 (0 to 7). In the above list, frontend8 is from satipclient, but it doesn't work. Also usb dvb-t tuners don't work.

If you have 15 (apparently) demuxers, how would you manage to make recordings of more than 15 (independent) sources 
I think it's a bit sparse for a receiver with 16 virtual tuners...

Malakudi, what's wrong with PiP? I use it very frequently.

PiP on VU+'s enigma2? It is like it was 3 years ago on OpenPLi. Now OpenPLi PiP is great (split screen etc options).

Can you post the following?
ls -1 /dev/dvb/adapter*/* | sort
This could also give some interesting information:
cd /proc/stb

Nope.
(1 FBC-tuner) = (1 conventional) + (3 conventional looped-through tuners).
As the box has 2 FBC-tuners, this equals a total of 8 (fixed embedded) tuners.
Added to that can be one conventional (DUAL) tuner, so that brings the maximum number of built-in tuners to 10 (there is no FBC plug in tuner).
Posted 13 November 2015 - 11:11
@Rob: Currently there isn't. I guess what Erik says that if sometime in future VU+ releases a module with 2 additional FBC tuners, then the box could have 16 tuners. Or he has some inside info that such a module will eventually get released?
Posted 13 November 2015 - 11:23
Exactly my drift.
But I guess there will be a VU+ Duo4k at some time, with a "bigger" SoC that will have more demuxers and more tuner slots, for that purpose.

Blindscan doesn't work. In Blackhole review they mention a newer driver, but current Blackhole doesn't support Blindscan. The included utility doesn't find any transponders in blind scan mode. Transcoding doesn't work too. SD scaling lucks detail compared to VU+ Duo2/Solo2.
This box is coming to market too early (like most of them right now). This has to be stopped. If the reviewers don't mention all the problematic issues on launch, this is not going to be fixed ever. Early adopters pay a premium and they are used like beta testers!

@malakudi - I cannot stress enough that this is by now the norm for hyped linux stbs.
$50 box is more then sufficient to test a handful of x265 satellite streams and playback the growing number of
torrent releases since 'hvec' might get be adopted for such purposes due to better compression and better image quality

Have you in say the last 10 years ever seen any review for any hardware that really goes into the depth of any device and really reveals the flaws?
I haven't. And I'm baffled on every review I read and see about the superficiality of the complete story. Just one example: look at the recent Dr. Dish review of the Solo 4k. Nothing but superficiality, just telling the specs of the box and shouting with joy....
Posted 13 November 2015 - 16:33
@Rob: Well, mine reviews (I review for a Greek magazine) are always complete and they don't hide anything. I always mention anything not working. Unfortunately they are in Greek language and Google translate makes a really bad translation.
Here is the outcome of my recent review on VU+ Solo 4K (to be published in a few days):
"The first Linux/Enigma2 Ultra HD satellite receiver is a fact. VU+ Solo 4K has some amazing technical features. It not only supports Ultra HD and HEVC, but comes with innovations like the FBC tuners and USB 3.0 support. The strength of VU+ Solo 4K cpu can be seen in all aspects, from the really fast channel change up to the really fast Enigma2 loading times. Unfortunately, the list of mentioned capabilities that are still not working is big. Quality SD scaling, XBMC, transcoding, blindscan, USB tuners, SAT>IP are just some of the features that should work and they don't. Change of architecture (from MIPS to ARM) brings incompatibility issues with most popular emulators. We will keep an eye on driver changes from VU+ and promise a new review in a couple of months, when most issues should be resolved."
Posted 13 November 2015 - 16:49
@ Malakudi: I take your word for it. I'm not that good in Greek though, so I must have missed those
But then you must feel quite lonely in the field of honest reviewers!

This is because today consumerism is as such. If consumers accept garbage support for high amount price,
then they also need to understand that manufacturing companies are treating them same as the products they are advertising.
And then since this is all based on hype they wonder why some users accept purchasing cloned products the first place ?
Do you see the relation between these facts ?
Linux stbs were considered avant-garde at some point - not anymore, because profit is king for manufacturers and since many
have hit the marker with substandard support it is now accepted as fact and life goes on.
Again the main point here is that consumers make the choice and with their own purchasing habits allow this to happen.
What can be changed ? Many things. For starters , first boycotting substandard appliances...or only pay the price which is right for the product
you are choosing. Do not allow them fool your senses.
