Best Twin Tuner Box ?

[Aletank]

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

Budget - maybe ?250 ish
At the moment I'm not thinking about a mototrised dish, just Astra 28.2

Thanks for the replies so far

Is the VU+ Solo a Twin tuner ?
thanks

[digicon]

?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

Is the VU+ Solo a Twin tuner ?
thanks

no , but the one he said is ( vu solo 2 )

[Aletank]

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 ?

Sorry for laughing at this mate ....buying a box like the ones listed & not buying a motorized dish.......is like

buying a rowing boat & saying you don't want the oar's .....buying a bike & walking everywhere.....well you know what i mean

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 ?

With the VU+ Solo 2

1) Can I Record 2 channels at once ?

2) Can I Record 2 channels while watching something already recorded ?

3) 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
