Cheers Aftermath !

no probs mate, if there is anything we can add to make this part successful just post what you guys need.

Oh and I would love a spare ?300+ to get one of these, but times are hard these days.

Best ?330 quid you will ever spend !!
(or go for the openbox S9 if you want no frills etc)

yeh i can get one of those for about ?75, but they look very basic and everything seems to be added via USB stick, but worth a look, also need an external HDD to record too

[dell_xps]

Cant fault the openbox m8, only has 1 tuner, epg sucks, picture quality is on par with the Vu+, well worth the money.
Top tip, make sure you get a quality line, if not you'll hate it :-)

you may find that once you have had a chance to have a play with the DUO, it will soon become your main box as it simply out classes all others especially the dreamboxes.

[dell_xps]

Have to agree this box does some brilliant things, forget the sly box, this box rocks !

in my honest opinion, the best image you can put on the box when it arrives is VIX. and i'm not just saying that because i'm a member / beta tester of the VIX team.

[cactikid]

yes using vix i like it:top:

[dell_xps]

Image is rock solid as I posted in previous posts !!
Only 1 fault I can find with this box, and that was the price, but well worth the dosh :-)

it's still a heck of a lot cheaper than the similar spec DM8000. but well worth the price. after all i paid almost ?1,000 9 years ago for my original DM7020 / motor and 85 cm dish.

[dell_xps]

I was going to get the 8000HD, nearly a grand, glad I didn't
get it, this is the box to get :-) buy it !!

lol i know a few good mates who did shell out that for a dm8000, and if i'm honest the support for it is terrible. granted there are teams releasing images for it but most over look it in favor of the dm800 and it's clones.

[tool37]

thanks dell xps, for pointing me in right direction, well happy with vu+ duo, well worth the dough:top:

[satpink]

i had a dm8000hd it had 4 sat tuners in it, is the vu+ duo capable of adding more tuners?

[cactikid]

there is only space for 2 but i believe it can record a number of channels at the same time.

the duo as the name implies is a twin tuner receiver but properly setup it can record upto 6 different recording at a time.

[RuberDuck]

forgot to mention that you can also add a DTT = digital terrestrial tuner to these boxes effectively making them triple tuners

[dell_xps]

Via a usb stick Rubber Duck ?

[cactikid]

i believe so,maybe a name or 2 with ones that work
