Hello everyone, I own a Golden S890 HD and there isn´t support at all, I am going to get other HD receiver and I´d like to know what is your opinion, I´ll use it for cccam here in Spain and share my server with another people of other countries, maybe I should make ther server with a PC and use my HD receiver just for seeing shared channels..

I´d like to have good compatibility with diseqc for my multifeed dish and support for the future updates...just all this.

Looking forward your news..

I have both mate!

For me it would be the VU+ Duo every time.

A lot more hardware for you money dual tuner 2 card slots usb full size hard drive ci slots

Obviously the VU is more expensive if your thinking of a DM800 clone.

I think like you...I paid €300 one year ago for my GI-S890...
I prefer to pay €450 for a good receiver..I use it a lot and I need support, if some one could give development support maybe we could develope our own software...
Now I manage about 10 sats with my dish, from 7º east to 42ºeast + 30º west...and I would like to find people for share foreing channels...cheers!!

I also both have dm800 and vu+ duo

The vu+ is most value for money, and i have not regret i bought thsi box, must be my best buy ever for the cost :clapping:

Performance is also much better on vu+ compared to dm800

Ok, and how about of the quality of the picture???? I own a golden S890HD and it´s a great receiver...good quality both SD-HD, fast search...would be the VU+ Duo cool as golden in that aspect?? I am going to update the receiver soon but I need info..

For example, how it works the emu mode? now I have a firmware in golden S890 which I see some crypted channels as Mezzo in hotbird..in VU+ Duo how it works?? just installing some image??

Yeah, cool review, it´s incredible that a good receiver like VU+ hasn´t good quality in HD..anyway I should test it first I guess...I am happy with the quality of my golden S890, but there isn´t support and I need cccam...

HD picture is fantastic mate.

It's the SD picture that is nothing to write home about but it is a good as my 800 nothing else to compare it to at the moment.

A lot of people are buying the VU+ Duo because of cccam, whats the chances of that not working in newer versions??

The VU uses a CPU of the same protocol same as the 800 and 8000.I very much doubt you could stop CCcam running on this.

I'm one happy owner of this great linux receiver.
Why I'm happy?Because finally I found one stable and fast box.
Finally a stronger box than DM,at a much better price,good support and very good software.
Perfect picture quality,that can run also at 60hz smoothly ,characteristic that other concurrent boxes don't have.
Two cardreaders,one for conax and the other one ,the number one Xcrypt,that can read any type of smartcard.Of course that the conax reader will read any card too,with the help of an emu.
The fear of burning cards is eliminated in these cardreaders.The cards are even cool.......
Finally a box that can run native CCcam and ALL the other Emu's developed at this time.
Has very good cooling systems,a very important embed,one that I only found at the very good box too,the IPbox.We all know that the DM is a real pizza oven.
You can build any type of HDD,for PVR usage and also can be used the 3 USB ports,and also record with the support of the twin tuner feature.
I have a lot of good words for this box,but I'd like to hear the revision of other owners too, for this VU+ Duo ,and if they do,I know for sure that will be only good words.

Newcs R 1.67 is working ,but not very stable.
Anyway newcs is long time dead,is time for oscam and sbox.
These two are faster and better than newcs.
So,please let newcs rest in peace :)
