well dang some of this thread just disappointed me. I know more content is at the top of everyone's list here, but mine remains Vault + Strato integration. Is it a huge deal for me to switch UI's? No. But when people come over and say let me see X movie scene in 1080P, and then they say oh wait dont you have this UHD content? I have to explain to them "hold on i need to turn a different system on to show that content". Just hurts the "convenience" factor i hold so dearly with my K system.
I'm one of those who was sold a vault/Strato combination on the basis that integration would come along in the 'near future' - in fact prior to the 'closedown' I was advised that I had been placed on a 'beta' programme to test the new integration.
Perhaps it would have been better Jim to adopt the Kscape methodology and say nothing at all rather than to suggest that "it may or may not happen" . All that has done is stoke the fires of those with that combo, myself included. As far as I was lead to believe, this function was being worked on within Kscape. Wonder if, should there not be a solution, whether Kscape will offer to buy back these vaults, which were bought in good faith and on the basis that integration would happen.
I appreciate that no-one now should buy that combo, on the basis of the knowledge at hand - but at the time of purchase I was buying on the basis of best knowledge - and that was that an integration would be happening.
C'mon Kscape time to open up and tell us loyal customers what is actually happening with this combination.
You appear to be in the UK so I am curious, were you loaned/sold/offered an Alto by your dealer either as a long term loan or heavily discounted permanent solution? If not please let me know.
I was loaned the Alto by my dealer, as a solution until the integration took place. They were/are clearly confident that it will take place.
It wasn't loaned to you by your dealer
At least you have full functionality albeit a bit disjointed right now. Hopefully they will get the 2 units working together sooner rather than later.
It wasn't........?
You aware of something I'm not?
It was a goodwill gesture by the UK distributor.
Ah I see, oh well whoever it was, it's appreciated. Yes a little disjointed but at least it works.
Hooray for the UK distributor - fabulous customer service.

P.s. Hope you got the Strato issue sorted you had the other day. If not, ping me a PM and I'll jump right on it tomorrow.
Okay, now that this is in the public realm....and I'm receiving several calls and emails....it is true that the "solution" to integration of content from the two systems will consist of a "switch"
Hi Mike... how's that video and FAQ coming? Lots of us here REALLY eager to see those. If not coming soon, can you give an ETA?Lots more detail in the FAQ and video. Working on getting those to you ASAP.
While I would like the vault + local storage of 4K content as an option, I suspect the answer is don't hold your breath. I think the whole concept of pulling data off discs was a real sore spot for at least some of the content holders. Hence the download store.
