Hi,

I'm reading this thread for some time, but it's hard to follow the whole 160 pages ^^. Currently I am thinking about buying a NUC for using it as a HTPC with ubuntu+xbmc or openelec. I want to install a dvb-s2 usb receiver and a tvheadend server with oscam. So far so good ^^

What makes me reluctant is the ongoing (?) picture quality issue. I've read that people are not pleased with the picture quality of the NUC. Has this problem been fixed? Currently I am using a Dreambox DM800 and I do not want to make a step back in picture quality.

I'm currently using an Amiko Alien with Enigma2 as a backend for my D54250WYK running Windows 8.1 with the VU+/Enigma2 client. After much tweaking and twiddling driver settings etc on the NUC , LG-42LD450 via Yamaha RX-V367 I actually wiped everithing, unplugged, and reinstalled Windows 8.1 with default driver settings. The picture quality is identical to the Sat tuner.

(I love the fact that my Sat tuner sits there in standby mode, whoever is watching in the living room with the TV and remote is happy, but anyone else can watch on laptop, tablet, notebooks etc with XBMC installed in other rooms. I can even keep an eye on the rugby on my laptop with the sound muted on my lap while the WAF are watching something on the large screen. :-) )


I'd love to hear peoples experiences with a DVB-S2 usb receiver - which one were you planning to use?
