Thinking of buying Vu Duo ! Got some questions first

[lombard]

Hi, currently have a DM800se with hdd, works flawless, records perfect, doesnt lag or struggle at all,

but now wanting a dual tuner box, seems Vu Duo for support and price seems best, seems like Vix 2.3 image is popular for this, wanna ask if it runs without lag when recording channel, while flicking and moving through bouquets without it struggling ?

also does vix image have online server ? where there is a choice of skins etc, as i aint seen any screenshots of any.

Thanks

i have both a Duo and a Uno and neither lag or struggle whole recording or using the epg etc, like all e2 boxes they are infinitely customizable, and yes we ( ViX ) do have a online server for skins and plugins etc, however we dont host softcams but they can very easily be installed within 1 minute.

if your looking for a reputable retailer i would highly recomend

 www.world-of-satellite.co.uk

his after sales support is second to none and if you go to the ViX forum ( same url but .com ) you can pm the sponsor and get a further fiver off a duo bringing the price to ?312 if you do tell him pheonix sent you.

Hi, thanks for the reply, i mean while its recording one channel while watching another, also like when a channel is recording and your flicking around other channels, moviing between bouquets etc, also i hear about box in deep standby , will it record if you set something still ? this is new revision ?

thanks

i had a channel recording last night while watching another, i even paused the second channel for half a hour while i took the dog for a walk ( had PTS enabled ) and every thing worked flawlessly.

i have yet to make a recording in deep standby but i'm sure i have heard others say it works.

Thanks for your replies very helpful, im quite good at playing arounf with dreambox so shouldnt really be any different , other then getting the cams,

I got a old 500gb hard drive laying about here, with current hdd prices not great time to buy,

i use openpli 2.1 on my dm800se right now, got everything working perfect, like its vali warp skin ,

dual feature will come in handy with me, how many times i wanted to watch another program while wanting to record another

yeah you wont have any problem setting the box up. i would recommend giving a few images a try. you will see strait away just how much better the images are for the Vu receivers than their DM counterparts and i would say give ViX a try.

just a wee update, i have not tried yet but from what i have been told, if a recording is set to take place while the box is in deep standby it will wake the box 5 minutes prior to the recording and shut back down once done, unless your actually watching the tv by then that is.

Hi, got it thanks, is it the same cross epg i get from tspanel i used on openpli on dm800se , will work on vix image ?

THanks again

crossepg is already installed and modified as part of the ViX image, there is no need to install any thing else for it to work. other than to set it up that is.
