I can see by this update that there is work to be done.
Im waiting for the Duo2 and also interested in the development of the drivers that are still a bit beta, if you know what i mean. Its normal to happen its a big box update, we hope that the tuner is good enough and keep up like the rest.
Thats my big question right now, lets hope that the drivers keep coming with new breakthroughs, and also Transcoding is very important.

Technically, everything is always in beta, there is no final version of drivers, enigma2, or OE.

The only final is the hardware.

Many important things to be done, im sure you know that better than me. The most important things arent working at full capabilities of the hardware, maybe not 60% i would say. The problem now is that we have more hardware for the software, and back on the Dreambox days we had more software than the hardware capabilities. Enigma1 ou 2 is still beeing developed but you know their limits, in this new generation of VU we dont know the limits yet.

Have you guys tested the reading times (ms) of some provider cards? Can you compare the reading times with other previous receivers with the same cards?

Thanks for the work to the community, you guys are fantastic

I advise you: your question abouns ms it's near limits of Board rules. I can answer: better timings. No more questions about this topic please!
