then ideally you go motorised in future

cannot help you on the cs on this forum though, that subject is a no-no

ok if I find a VU+ box is it just plug and play or is it a technical set up

you have got a rude awakening m8 as the duo is a linux os and requires alot of reading to get your head around.. regards mdt

none of these boxes are plug and play, all require technical setup and as you said you had done some reading already I assumed you already knew there was some work to be done by the owners

you have the simple option already, anything else will require some work and reading from yourself, and to emulate sly plus HD a lot more work by yourself as mdt correctly pointed out

good luck

if u want an easy to setup box get an openbox, pretty cheap too at 50-60?
