Request new development to VU+ Team

I am really disappointed that VU + team still did not enable DTS downmix, improved multimedia and picture quality on SD channels. Without it, story about vu + receiver duo is not rounded, and the worst for VU + would be that the new models have that function,without support for vu+duo. We all know that the DTS on dreambox receivers enabled with the SW hack, so ... I hope that this will occur when the need!
I've just reported this issue once again to vu+.

One more thing. MKV movies 1080p are hanging like in the past. I checked the new image with "Let me in 1080p", "Paranormal activity 2 1080p" - movies hanged about 6-7 times during movie - so video isnt working and DTS audio is not working. Old Image Black hole 1.4.5 was better. Thats all what I want to say. And subtitles during forwarding or backwarding doesn't work. Guys it's realy horrible if you use your VU as HD media player...

DTS Downmix on the one hand, but on the other hand DTS Passthrough via SPDIF and HDMI is also terrible...

The file is taken from the local SATA HDD.

I've connected the box via HDMI cable to my Onkyo (in signature) and I've disabled the audio downmix during the movie play (Audio button -> red button).

My amplifier detect correctly the DTS audio track and no freeze or artifact are detected during play.
The only issue is a little audio lag random during play but the same problem is detected by play the same file with another SAT linux box.

I tried many movies and NOT WORK any with DTS.
My Vu+DUO is connected on my home theather via Audio cable and second way is direct to TV via HDMI. On both ways NOT WORK DTS audio !

Last movie which I tried is "SanctumX264DTS.mkv"...nothing...

And again no fix for DTS in new drivers... :( I hope so for that like said @Tamaki .

Volume control wont work on AC3 channels, it does not make any diffrerence when using volume button on AC3 channels.
HD channels with AC3 knows just two states for volume, on and off.

If you have selected to disable the downmix of AC3 (audio button -> red button) the volume of the box is ininfluent.
I've checked it with some files and SAT/DVB-T HD channels with that setting setted "OFF" (my HT system works great :D)

Yes with Downmix volume works, but it is only stereo. Problem is when watching different channels, volume is high on some channels and you have to adjust your amplifier, but if AC3 sound can be adjusted directly from VU+, you only need to use VU+ remote to adjust volume for all channels.
and if you choose different audio source, eg. DVD-player volume is high for it becouse audio level is different and it cannot be setted with "Automatic Volume Control" plugin. I got yamaha amplifier and with that i can use only preset for audio between -3 - +6 dB and sometimes it is not enough to get all units (DVD, BD, CD, Mediaplayer, VU+) to same audio level.

I would like to have Red Button "Zap" in Single EPG, as it is in MultiEPG & GraphicEPG.

Might seem strange, however I recently discovered that Single EPG for other channels can be browsed using arrow buttons either side of 0/zero key. I really like this way of viewing EPG, but without option to zap, it's a bit limited.

Yes in MENU->TIMER but view in channel selection-buquets or extra screen for 2xOK ,...

for example:

Here is the anwser about your question:
CI+ is an issue we need to watch.
The priority of CI+, however, is not set as high because it needs quite resource to support it and we think the support of CI+ as a feature of future model.

Thank you for reminding me of this issue.
I will check the possible schedule again.
