yes it's a enigma 2 box so the bouquets you currently use will work perfectly fine.

dont worry about it mate, it's dead easy to work and configure the Duo. flashing takes just a few minutes via a USB stick too.

if you need any help configuring the box etc just make a post here or on WoS and some one will help, likely me LOL.

Thanks!!

I can do most thing like flashing, installing a hdd, updating bouqets, installing softcams, adding lines with dcc and recovering from ca errors but thats all on a dm800 and se boxes! So fingers crossed it will pretty much similar, i just need to talk nicely to my line guy to get a dual feed ;-)

Same here mate , vu seems easier to flash via usb , wondering if there is recovery like dreamup if power cut or image is wrong , I think mainly recording for me is fta channels 1 to 5 , see if I also get s deal

once you have the image as you like you can make a backup. for example in vix. bluebutton / vix / image manager. with this you can backup the current ViX image exactly as you have it setup including softcams and settings etc. you then just flash this back as you would any other image and be up and running in a few minutes.

Apologies for jumping in on this thread. I'm a newbie to sat receivers and was planning to try and buy a dreambox 800 hd se on recommendation from a friend (to replace my sky+hd). However after reading this thread it looks like the vu+ duo may be a better alternative. Am i correct in thinking that they have v similar functionality but the adv of vu is the dual tuner which will allow recording of one channel while viewing another. Is there any other pros and cons between the boxes or comparisons anywhere i can read up on before deciding which to buy.

Any advice much appreciated!

Hi, i have had both, DM800se great box runs as fast as the Vu Duo, but DM800se aint got a dual tuner, there is like ?150 more in it for the vu duo but if need dual tuner the vu duo is the one to get with great image support from vix, and its cheapest dual tuner box.

I cant fault the dm800se clone, its built very good, very fast, just lacking dual tuner really, could change in future though

THanks

Is there any expansion on the DM800HDSE to install a second DVB s2 tuner and if so will the images 'just work' or is this not really and option (know nothing about images etc) - I'm guessing probably not as I'm sure loads of you would have already done it!, but just trying to confirm. If I end up having to but > 1 receiver to view Sat in different room then single tuner may be OK as if I need to record different channel to the one I'm watching I could do it on other box - maybe a couple of cheaper receivers in the other rooms...

A USB sat tuner may mork on the 800SE mate making it a twin tuner but I think some tweaking needs done to the drivers.

I read this elsewhere but have not had a chance to fully investigate it yet. If it works I will be adding another tuner to my ET9200 making it a triple tuner

What I read was suggested as a way of adding another tuner to the Duo and the Xtrend ET9000 and ET9200 but a few stated that it would work for other Enigma2 receivers also.
