which receiver to buy ???? (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f11/receiver-buy-392295/)
If that is the case you will need a twin tuner box .......the above post will help
i have the Vu+ solo 2 ....so i can only give my advice on this box .....one word.....fantastic

I would go for a Dreambox DM800 HD.Excellent box and you can easily fit a 320gb hard drive in it for around ?20.

Been looking at the VU solo 2 online and it looks the business from what ive found , i really to act as much as sky+ but anything else is a bonus , need the twin tuner for recording but the demand stuff looks handy too , ive currently got a f5s the interface is just terrible , which would you recommend running the vu solo 2 on blackhole ? thanks!

You can also setup a Network share on any Blackhole image whether its going to a NAS or a local PC/Laptop

All images can download the autotimer/series link Plugin from the main Plugin addon menu, but i believe the Vix image has it already integrated into the EPG menu which would be easier

vu solo2 would do the job,duo2 more aimed at the top end specialist who has loads of sats to play with.
