    VU+SOLO CLONE FROM MIXESHOP

    Hi

    I have been undecided as to buy a VU+SOLO original or clone, I have bought DM 800 clones from Mixeshop.com (Yoaxen) before and I have never had any problems, just wondered if anyone has bought the VU clones from them.

    I can get a Solo clone for around ?100 delivered in about 4 days, or get an original for ?180, this is quite a difference as you can see but I would like a few reviews on them before I buy. I am thinking of buying a Tablet PC at the same time to save on postage.

    Cheers

    I never had no problems with my Duo from them although that was an early V1 release, With all the reports of the V2 both duo and solo having poor PSU units my advice would be to stay well clear or get another 800/SE or even pay the extra ?80 for an original

        Its more geared towards the Duo rather than the solo as it appears that the Duo has been cloned again and some reports although i cannot confirm myself is that Mixeshop sell the clone of clones on the Duo but nothing to report on the Solo.

        I have recently had 2 Solo's from Nextbay and can safely say these are Ferrari product and not Clone of Clones.

        You may be wise if after a Clone Solo to source one from Nextbay instead of mixeshop

            @digicon

            How much did you pay for the VU solo (no price on nextbay website)

            Also can the VU remote operate the TV like the Dreambox remotes?

            Finally, can a HDD be added to a VU solo?

            thanks

              you have to click onto the online shop part to get prices, also pay in dollars and not ? as the exchange rate is better.

              Code:
              http://www.nextbay.biz/vu-solo-hd-set-top-box-on-sale_p30.html
              The remote is basic and sorry to say cannot control the TV, an external powered usb hard drive can be added no problem

                          Nope not a single problem :-), that does not mean though that anyone else buying one will not. Like anything in life its the luck of the draw

                            No they're not!

                            They're genuine boxes and running the same CPU as Vu+ Solo
