Which Linux Box

Hi men i'm thinking of upgrading my setup i currently have a DM800HD what do you suggest ?

Hi,
Try the amiko alien 2 twin tuner. For 150 pounds you can't really beat it.
Plus you can either run the spark firmware (very good) or your preferred enigma 2 image.
Single tuner can bought off ebay for about 100 pounds.

From what i've read so far the enigma 2 isn't up to much on the box yet.

A few friends of mine suggest the v-plus duo
has anyone tested one of these ?

got a vu+duo clone, my one just will not pick up the fringe satelites, there are lots of threads around saying their tuners are not any good on weak transponders

thanks mate thats worth knowing maybe i should stick to my dm800hd clone

**thomaswhelan** · 1st November, 2012, 04:28 PM

i have two vu duo clones and both running perfect for six months now and i have an alien two and enigma2 running fine with cross epg pvr, if anyone wants a working image and guide for amiko alien I`m happy to help just pm me

**Roddypiper** · 25th February, 2013, 03:45 PM

Recently got the VU+ Solo2, more than happy at the job it is doing for me

**vanginger** · 10th March, 2013, 05:46 PM

+1 with the above, cracking box, great value.
Then again, Vu+ SOlos at ?120 + delivery is a steal

**ebotee** · 21st March, 2013, 01:12 PM

what box is a clone of dreambox/technomate or vu+. i keep hearing that, but i have not heard anybody mentioned a specific box that is a clone either of the boxes.
you understand as well that every seller on eBay claims that his is not a clone. so it would nice to state which box is either a ''good'' clone of particular box or bad clone
