    Best Twin Tuner Box ?

    I've had a Skybox F5 a couple of months now, I'm looking to upgrade in the next couple of months. With the Skybox F5 I like the way the Channel List, CCcam is easy to upgrade, I also like the way there is loads of support and information on the forums for the Skybox F5.

    So I'm looking for a Twin Tuner Box, At least a 7 Day EPG, Recordable Features (Is Series Link Possible ?) Easy enough to upgrade the Channel Lists & CCcam, most importantly a box that has loadsa support/information/how to guides on the forums/net.

    Thanks for you help/advice

    Not sure what your budget is mate, but Ive got a Dreambox 800, Skybox f5 and a VU Duo, I must say the VU Duo is outstanding at what it does :-) good luck with your choices

      I have a vu duo as well, but the vu duo2 is the best box, with a vu solo 2 a close second

              ?250 will get you a Gigablue Quad exact same motherboard and processor as the Solo2 but ?50 cheaper, Just be wary both have Pro's and Con's

                  Thanks, i'll have a look into a VU+ Solo 2

                  Would I require 2 of "The Things We Can't Talk About" if I want to watch one channel & record another ?

                      as you say, cant talk about it !

                      but you could definitely watch itv and record bbc1 from 28e, that I can talk about (using 2 coax feeds from a sly quad lnb)

                        With the VU+ Solo 2
                        Can I Record 2 channels at once ?
                        Can I Record 2 channels while watching something already recorded ?
                        Does it have a Series Link feature ?

                          1) yes (and maybe more if on the same transponder)

                          2) yes

                          3) not to my knowledge unless there is a plugin for this
