    Which box suits these requirements?

    At present I am running an F3 Skybox, but the limitations are really killing me...

    I need a box that has the following features as a minimum.

    1080p HD receiver (obviously)
    HDMI port
    RJ45 Ethernet connection
    Twin tuners, so I can record 1 channel and watch another
    Internal hard drive (250gb minimum)
    7 day TV Guide (EPG)
    Ability to have CCcam running.


    Ideally < ?150, but I wouldn't rule out marginally over that.

    Any pointers gratefully appreciated!

    the vu+duo may come close but you would probably need to spend a little more . the box (and indeed any box )may not come with a 7 day epg and hdd drive installed as standard ,so you should be prepared to add about another ? 40 or so to the cost of the box for the hdd .

    the blade bm7000 comes in at your price range and has most of the features you want ,but its not twin tuner and it wont come with a hdd as standard .
    i love it when a dreambox comes together.

      I wouldnt mind paying a little extra for the HDD, as long as it is possible to put one internal.

      The twin tuner is a definite 'must have' though.

        The vu+duo looks VERY good to my requirements, but is a little more expensive than I'd hoped for at around ?199+ hdd.

        I have a Panasonic DMR-BS850EBK Twin Freesat Tuner which does all of the things I need for Freesat, but I with it ant seem to find anyway to use CCcam

          an original duo is more than ?199,if you buy a clone plenty of them have gone down so dont buy clones.
          originals are ?289 and ?339 with a 500gb hdd internal
