Box Update Advice Needed BEST Box 2017

[clarkenuttal]

With Sly now going Dark I want to move towards VM and update my box.

1) Ideally something that can have a cable feed (For Normal Channels) and satellite feed (For FTA Channels).
2) Ideally something that can allow recording another channel while watching different channel.
3) HD Compatible.
4) Budget is Flexible around ?300 but consideration will be given to budget versus benefit ratio.
5) Good to have added features such as KODI, IPTV etc but that's not compulsory

I am very na?ve with technology so please excuse me for my limited knowledge

VU DUO 2, might be a tad more in cost but a superb box, can have 2 duel tuners any combination.

Good box........but nothing the OP will buy is plug & play like the openbox
a lot more in put from the user is needed.........& a lot of reading

Isn't this box a bit old? How does that compare to Vu 4K? Is there any other box in ?200-?250 mark?

How many vermin cable inputs does Vu+ Duo 2 support at a time?

I looked but most of them are selling as Dual S2 Tuners (4 inputs) which you referred as 4 Tuners. Will these support 4 Vermin inputs too?

Zgemma-H5.2TC

Thanks I'll read into it. I assume it is a good box?

[vorlon2257]

Yes, the same as all Zgemma's, they do exactly what the Vu+ boxs do at a fraction of the cost you just have to buy an external USB harddrive a 500 gb is more than enough to record as you can't put a harddrive into them. Supported by various images except the openvix image as they class these boxs as clones (which they are not).

Opena-tv is the main image for the box and is a far better image in my opinion.


I have 3 Zgemmas myself, a H1 H.2H and H5 they are combo boxs and all working perfect on the opena.tv image 6.0 image

Can someone confirm if Zgemma H5.2TC can play IPTV too?

Simple answer Yes!

[clarkenuttal]

Simple answer Yes!

So it can play cable and IPTV both at same time? I won't need separate box to play IPTV And Cable?

No! you would not even the cheaper H.2H is perfectly adequate for both Cable and IPTV reception and both can be run side by side.

What image will I need to make IPTV and vermin both work on same box at same time? Is there any instructions available on how to flash and load these images on Zgemma boxes?
