?300 to spend help please

[newlove2003]

Hi, i have around ?300 to spend, i already have a dm500 and openbox s11, Now i'm wanting to purchase a top of the range box the things im wanting are dual tuner, a hdd to record which i already have a spare one to put inside, and most important a easy to use epg "something like sly's" where it tell's me full listings and i press record and it records, thats about it really, got the vu uno in mind so far. can it do these things? or which one should i get thank you.

your'e thinking a vu DUO mate.

vu UNO is a single tuner...

and it will do what you require. sound box by all accounts...

i heard the uno is getting a dual tuner shortly "upgrade" i think, would this be better then the duo if that is true?

yes it probably would, if thats true, which the rumours say it is

[newlove2003]

well i think im going for the ET9200, just had a good read this looks like the box for me thank you

and when the duo2 comes will that be better than the uno with 2 tuners

It will almost certainly be better, but it will probably also cost a fair bit more too. Speaking of which, any rumours over the pricing yet?

With all its bells and whistles and top spec broadcom chipset and processor i doubt for just standard satellite viewing the Duo2 will be any faster than its older sibling the Duo.

Theres only one reason its been beefed up and thats for media playback and hbbtv duties.

Do you think im making a good decision in buying the et9200se?

[alom5]

Yes! For your ?300 it's a good box.

Thats entirely your choice if you have done your homework and you feel that is the receiver for you then go for it, IMHO i would either go for the Uno single tuner i know but the Dual tuner should be available from September onwards if you can wait or if your feeling flush then the Ultimo.

The Vu's have slightly and only slightly more support image wise than the ET series of receivers, Might be worth posting your question in the ET section to see what owners think there.

well what it is im sick of the piss poor epg on the dreambox and openbox, so im wanting a good box which is good for that, also can the et9200se record one channel whilst watching another?

Yes the ET9200 can record 1 channel while you watch another, I am not sure how you mean the EPG is poor on the dreambox on the openbox yes maybe but the Dreambox is linux and so is the ET9200 so uses identical programs to download and display the EPG system

Unless of course you are referring to a DM500s and not a DM800

[newlove2003]

YES I HAVE THE DM500 LOL
