I currently have $ky (fixed minidish) and a Spiderbox (motorised) and between them I am happy with the functionality of the boxes and the variety of things to watch. However, I am wondering if I (with zero Linux experience and only average computer knowledge) could swap both of my current boxes for a VU+ Duo/Ultimo or equivalent Dreambox in order to get the same/better functionality? I have trawled various forums and have an idea of what is possible but I?d like clarification.
Can the VU+/Dreambox do the following:
Have a reliable EPG (like $ky/Freesat/Freeview)?
Remote record (like $ky+)? Is there an Android app for that?
Have satellite and Freeview tuners in the same box?
Reliable and simple PVR operation like $ky+/Freeview+? (Switch on from standby, move to correct satellite (if necessary), accurately record, return to standby.)
Have series link?
Use official cards?
I might just be dreaming of my perfect box but if ?yes? to the above, will all this be too much for a novice who has no idea about programming Linux?
