No comparison Vu+ duo has twin tuners the DB800HD as only one, these two receivers are totaly different to each other.
The Vu+ Solo is more like the 800HD
The Vu+ Duo is more like the Vantage HD 8000 with twin tuner
What would say is the Vu+ range will be slightly behind with the new wave of Dreambox's coming later this year, boasting more powerfull processors from broadcom & larger internal memory.
Dreams new 7000 series & 800 models will be hitting the store later this year or January of next.

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.

How do you compare it to cuberevo 250 hd /ipbox 91hd? What about the picture quality on SD and HD?
I tried cuberevo and found opening channels a bit slow, is this due to the server? Which protocol do you recommend with the cuberevo 250hd?
thank you
Surely at that time even the VU team will come up with new models with more powerful processors & larger memory.
The comparison is done with what is actually on the market.
Apart from other things, If someone don't need the CI slots the second tuner and second smartcard slot of the VU+duo then go for the dm800hd, simple as that. But If you plan to use one of the above features in the future go for the VU+duo, why not.
as far as the ipbox goes i have had 9000hd box with all the combination of tuners.
picture quality sd/hd very good
hard ware good and a nice looking box.
bad points
very slow support from manufacturer if any.
cannot use cccam by it self.
low internal memory
software support no way near dream/vu+duo
my opinion stay away from it
by the way i have both box now ipbox9000hd and vu+duo
