Hi all,
Ive currently got a clone dreambox 500s which performs ok.
I use it to get channels off Hotbird satelite, which I watch on the tv or have the box stream to pc running XBMC in bedroom.
Problem is you have to watch the same channel downstairs as upstairs. And I would like to stream to another room as well at the same time.
So I figure I need a dual tuner setup runing engima2 and the Vu+ boxes look higher spec for the money.
So now for the questions!
Would a dual tuner system be able to stream one channel whilst watching another? Would it be able to stream 2 channels to two Pcs?
Is the Duo of a reasonable spec for this or would it struggle?
I read that the ultimo has more flash memory, would this be a advantage/nessacery?
I've been interested in the solo2, but i've read that it only has 1 common interface, I don't understand what that is? does it matter? as otherwise it has a pretty good spec.
Any thoughts much apprecated, particularly on the subject of streaming to two Pcs.
Regards
Rich
Edit: is the coomon interface thing just the card reader thing you can add?
