      My advice dont bother with the Duo clone or original full stop, the new breed is just around the corner and the tech in the duo is now approaching 4 years old.

      if your desperate for a twin tuner but dont fancy the rough guide ?400 and ?600 price tags quoted on the new models, then get an Uno at ?249 and wait for the Dual plug in tuner.

        thats what i asked, i read the odd post that says there good tho

        but i dont know which is why i ask and i also wonder what they are comparing it too

        im actually now thinking of just getting a single tuner as to be honest we have a V+Hd box and mrs red wont use any other so if i need to record different things i can use that

        but i am greedy so may opt for the 2 tuners

        and my original questions still apply

        thanks

            solo clone is good also,depending on how much you want to pay.

                        Think they are all roughly the same price where ever you get one from Goldwafers ( excellent customer service ), satshop, wos falconsat, red apple digital etc...

                        Going rate ?249 with next day delivery
