can anyone tell the distinct different between the Duo and Uno. I would like to buy one of these soon. I can see that the Uno have DVB-C/T and I am wondering if it comes with the DVB-S2 and can I watch satellite and at the same time record on the DVB-C tunner.

Should I just get the Duo and forget about the Uno?

It will be perfect to have both S and C so that I can watch maybe satellite and record from cable. And maybe watch a satellite channel and also record another satellite channel at the same time :D

I have satellite dish and also cable at home. Thanks.

M8 the uno only has one tuner so you can not use both cable and sat.

The VU+Duo has two tuners but these are fixed to the board and can not be removed, they are DVB-S2 tuners.

no i think you must have read about the DM8000, unless the new ultimo can do this.

so there is no big difference with uno and solo then except for the System-on-chip, CPU and ram. OK maybe I will just have to settle with the Duo then. Would have liked to have DVB-C with the box :D

You know any box like this?

I use to use DVB-C and DVB-S2 in my cuberevo ( ipbox9000 ) but since cable went to nagra 3 and with no one knowing how to extract RSA key from the receivers I ditched the DVB-C.

Trouble with cuberevo the E2 support is now dead and I only like E2.

You could look at a DB8000 or wait for the new VU+Ultimo which has 3 plug and play tuners.

Why you so keen on having DVB-C ?

Click to expand...

Not really keen about C but would be nice to have it with the S box since my TV now does not have either T or C integrated. I do watch channels on cable too :)

I am anyway planning to buy a new TV that will come with tuners so I can live without the C :D I just hope Vu+ Duo will live up to all the hype...

That would be nice to add USB tuner for DVB-C to the box. Hope I can also record from this tuner too :D Can you please test? ;)

Thanks

I'd agree with cristo above,wait for the Ultima and you wont be disappointed....maybe with the price but the receiver will be the best out there.

ok people.. i have been away from this game for a while now. Now im back and I do really need to get a receiver now. My TV now has DVB-C/T so I do not need to worry about that.

Question is, I need a box that is very relevant to our times now and which I could use to record programs on one channel while watching on another. Is VU+ still the deal?

Thanks for your replies.
