VU+ solo has arrived 4 days after ordering from dreamboxparts, very quick considering its came from china.
On inspection it appears to be ok.

Will have a go tonight to set it up on the motor, hopefully all will be ok...."fingers crossed"

The Clone Duo's seem to be standing up pretty well as for the hard drive just rob one out of a skyhd box problem solved.

Paypal Payment went to aspley email address through dreamboxparts web site. Direct from China

Never bought the duo went for a Solo, not sure if you can have an internal hard drive in the solo, but I do have a 200gb external drive attached which works spot on. Im still ironing out the little problems.
I would say though the vu+ solo is up there with me DM800 so far.

Dont blame you mate had the 9000hd and someone bought mine for ?100 on ebay, I got it for free to start with so no loss on my behalf. I then reinvested the coin into a dm800 which cost ?140.

The good thing with the Spiderbox 9000hd was..........hhhhmmmm....hhhhmmmm...Sorry!!! cannot think of anything.

maybe a couple of quid more with the current exchange rate, also depends if you pay via paypal and maybe even Visa/Mastercard they all seem to vary there rates.

Would you be able to direct me to the seller as I'm after a VU+ Solo, it would help if the box had the firmware.
