    Thinking of getting a VU+ duo hd (clone)

    As title says i'm thinking of buying a vu+ duo hd clone, price seams to be about ?170 (i think its used but in good condition. What do you guys think of these clones are they worth it?

    Will this boys give me the like sly+ experience. Ive had a dreambox (600pvr) a long time ago so hopefully wont be to hard getting back into it with images etc.

    What about the new duo2 and the like, i would like dual tuners to get the most out of it.

    Cheers.

      Wouldn't bother with a clone, I had a Vu solo clone, didn't realise at the time, looked the part but then I started having problems with images not working correctly and the card reader disappeared somewhere inside the box! Thankfully the seller refunded me and I got a genuine box elsewhere.

      I have a genuine duo and I'm delighted with it!

      My advice would be to shop around and spend a few quid extra for a genuine box. Avoid the disappointment!

          AVOID i have a vu duo replaced psu within 3months and now its totally dead again. waste of money AVOID. the original vu duo is good box and i think theyve gone down in price. but avoid the clone. if you have a budget of around ?170 i would reccomend you get a amiko alien 2 they are twin tuner and have enigma 2 plus you get two year guarantee with them

                    Got them from hisat, good bloke. Was working away, so had them sent fully set up, with 2tb hard drives, mrs gave them out, my 8 year old boy installed the magic. Note the hard drives were extra on top of ?190. Just ask for a deal, bear in mind I bought 2

                      190 is a good deal, just seen the alien twin tuner for 150. Decision decisions!
