    Red face Suggest a Linux box around ?100

    Hello, My slybox F3 packed up. Looking for something more adventurous around ?100 mark.

    Have been trying to read up on these enigma2/Linux (I am guessing they are the same thing) boxes, still donno a lot about them but seems they have more functions compared to a simple openbox/slybox.

    Can you pls suggest some that are not very complicated
    Would like to have a double tuner but not essential
    Something that can handle plugins like XBMC (or similar)
    7 day epg would be nice to have
    Any other cool features that I dont have the foggiest about..yet..

    It would be great if you can recommend any genuine sellers with resonable prices....


    Thanks a lot

    you can just about get an enigma 2 box in your price range of ?100 such as the amiko alien like this
    Amiko Alien SHD 8900 Dual Boot Linux BOX With Open ATV ENIGMA2 Loaded Spark | eBay

    there are also vu+ plus solo clones . you can also buy quality second hand boxes on ebay .

    a dual tuner may not be within your budget . enigma 2 boxes usually come with a now and next epg as standard but heres a box that comes with a 7 day epg and its loaded with pli image , and its in your price range .

    Thanks for your reply Piopat

    Have been researching these boxes but which one will you recommend out of the three you mentoned. I am a bit sceptical buying used Vu due to lack of any warranty.

    hi well n my experience VUs even second hand are pretty rock solid , but I can understand your concerns . I would say the cloud iox 2 comes closest to what you are looking for , and its enigma 2 the same as a vu so it would be all but the same as a vu .
