here is my tube video of a fully set Raspberry Pi 2 with Aeon Nox with OPENelec and TVheadend and the guide going insanely fast and smooth.
Live TV bits are near the end.

That looks really impressive thanks for posting. Can I ask a couple of questions.
1. Is your Pi2 Overclocked?
2. Do you have the TV Headend server running on Pi2 or on another computer?
3. Have u purchased the MPEG2 codec?
4. What is CPU percentage when watching live tv

For those that already have a unit, does software decoding of DTS core work? I had to give up on my previous Pi because most Blu-Ray rips have DTS instead of AC3 and I would constantly get stuttering. I am hoping that the Pi 2 will now be able to play these files and I can stop plugging my laptop into my TV.

Yes. On a Pi2, software DTS decoding to PCM works, as I believe does software Dolby True HD decoding.

Hi,
Would you mind sharing your setup?
NFS - SMB?
Advanced settings
sd card brand-type
overclock...
You system is very responsive. At the moment i use confluence en my system is not as responsive!

Hello guys, i use 1080XF and it works like a charm on the new raspberry pi 2 oc to 1000ghz, the main problem is that if i leave it on stand by for a long period it freezes and needs a reboot.

Remove the overclock and see if the freeze stops.
RE: Raspberry Pi 2 quadcore-chip - abpostelnicu - 2015-02-16
Will do that and let you know. Another issue that i've encountered is when changing to the new skin 1080xf my library was no longer present and no scrapping was done..

How can that be way to much since the default speed is 900mhz?
RE: Raspberry Pi 2 quadcore-chip - Memphiz - 2015-02-16
because its more then factor 1000 man ...
