buy an original vu solo or vu duo 2 , or a tm twin

one of benefits of having a better box with better support it works and you get to look at tv while knowing your recording is working [ oh bugger forgot no internal hdd ]

Thanks for that do they have internal hdd and ive seen a blade 700s or something,its the new one,that fits my budget ??? what do you think of the blade box as I have a external hdd at home for it ?

Thanks

Haha that answers 1 of my qustions thanks cactikid

blade 7000s is a quite good box and you can download a 24/7 epg onto it, but its only a single tuner , not twin , and can only accept an external hdd

in this game you get what you pay for

no not seen the new one,but if you want to record a twin tuner box is whats needed,duo and solo2 can have internal and external hdd you choose,but a powered hdd is better as less stress on box and usb.

no it doesnt say that

it actually says this

It has one tuner onboard and up to two channels can be recorded while you watch a third, provided all are on the same transponder.

and that quote is from an old whatsat mag review, but is correct if you read it in its entireity

note the last point provided all are on the same transponder.

duo2 only came out this week on pre-orders so you will be lucky to buy one and I cannot see it being cloned for some time
try goldwafers if you want a genuine box of any type

i was wearing dirty glasses i thought it was a second hand duo ,the vu solo2 is cheaper and a cracker of a box also if money is tight.
