    Vu+ Duo Clone

    Should I buy a vu+ duo clone. It is ?229. I thought I was getting a good deal until I read further and realised it was a clone.

    Its between the clone and a blade 7000.

      if thats the 2 boxs of choice go for the clone duo

      i have both and cant fault any of them for what they can do the blade is first class for watching tv where as the duo has 1000,s more fuctions with plugins /addons ect and bonus twintuner which is very handy

      your price for clone is a little out as the ones i got where around 200-204 check out nextbay.biz

          Yeah it works out at ?188. Are they a reputable seller. How long for delivery?

          Shame they dont have a dm500s. I need to order one of these aswell.

          Was going to use ukdreamshop, ?229 for vu duo ?49.99 for dm500s but out of stock til 23rd.

          Anyone got a better option to get these two boxes, as cheap as possible but from a trusted supplier....

              there is no reason why they shouldnt be as all reports are very favourable... dont mistake the vu boxs original or clones as they have beefy power supplies unlike the dm500 that you currently use. stop umming and arring m8 and order one you wont be dissappointed, regards mdt

                Moving house and spending alot of money in the process. I can afford to spend ?200 on a box if I know it will last and be of good quality.

                Just want to be sure really...

                      i don't know if anything is really future proof......but as long as it does what you expect it to do when you buy it....then it's fine by me.

                          No, nothing is future proof. If it lasts me 3 years, Im happy. Less than 2 then I will not be.

                          I have no experience with these vu boxes but I can confidently say that any clone is not going to be of the same quality as the original....

                            if you get a box for ?200 and sub for ?15pm = 380 for the year......

                            full sly sub @ ?62pm........you do the maths

                            even if you get 1 year from the box....not too bad me thinks....
