et9500 or ultimo????

[kakawak]

hi guys

ive decided to upgrade after 2 years and although still a newbie to the sat scene can someone advise on which box to buy and where to buy and best price?

i know alot of people will say the ultimo cos it has 3 tuners, better support etc... but as the 9500 comes with the hbbtv support is this worth it? and what significance does this have over the ultimo? im kinda lost with these and want to put my mind at rest and just buy one!

as for pricing i can get the 9500 for ?313 and the ultimo for around ?350 (used) brand new i reckon around ?380 can anyone recommend a uk or even a european site that offers them cheaper?

regards

cammy

The new solo 2 and duo 2 are going to have hbbtv and should be on market soon.

When i had my Xtrend receiver i tried the hbbtv plugin in one of its earliest incantations and found it tedious at best and had zero english language channels available for it, This may have changed and someone may correct me but there is still as far as i am aware either very little or no english language channels on hbbtv.

My vote would go with the Ultimo
