    Both have 7 day epg using the ViX Team image. The images have basically the same features.

    The ET9000 has a newer CPU and more ram and I'd say the SD picture quality is slightly better, but all in all the differences are quite negligible.

    Any news when the Ultimo will be appearing?
    And is this likely to have an effect on image dev for the Duo, (and the prices?)

    Doubt it will affect the prices of the Duo and ET9000 as its a higher spec model, seen prices mentioned of £599 for the Ultimo.

    I have both and in terms of picture imho I cannot see the difference between the two.

    In terms of build and quality, both are good but the DUO imv sneaks it on the build.

    The ET is a newer box and better components

    In terms of remote, the DUO again sneaks it over the ET, the remote is better built and feels better when using it.

    I can honestly say you will not be disappointed buying either box.

    The EPG and screen appearance is determined by the image and I am biased but honestly can say VIX is the BEST image out their and is available for both boxes and coupled with SIlverfoxes bouquet set is the best replacement for a sly box.

    When you come to buy, don't forget to contact the forum sponsor who stocks both boxes and provides excellent CS.

    Hello,
    I have a Vu+duo,picture quality and 7 day epg(rytec plugin epg)are ok.

    With Clarke Tech I guess the epg is the same(plugin)

    So I guess you make a good choice with the Vu+Duo.

    kind regards

    Sorry for bumping an old thread, I had pretty much decided on a Vu+ Duo until I found this forum, and consequently this post.

    I assume the ET9000 is much newer than the Duo?

    Would the newer tech inside make much of a difference?

    Does the image on both look the same, or are there differences? and are there screenshots of the images so I can show wifey what a good decision I am making

    I'm kinda looking to get this ordered today if at all possible, but will need time to work on wifey faction

    Would the newer tech inside make much of a difference? not if all you want to do is view TV channels, there are enhancments in that the XT can play a greater varierty of medial files and better hardware - both same price so would go for the XT.

    Does the image on both look the same, or are there differences? and are there screenshots of the images so I can show wifey what a good decision I am making Depends on the image but for the vix its the same. Screenshots here in the first post. http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...100-21-07-2011

    Thanks for that - with regards to the image, I have seen some use skins to enhance the display (I think thats the sole reason) are these image specific?

    Is there somewhere I can see how the base vix image looks when I do the equivalent of pressing i on my S** box?

    Did you click the second link above, that is the VIX image with the default skin. ViX is coded to be as like sly as possible and there are lots of one button functionality built into it.

    On vix if you press I it will give you program details.

    As for skins would not recommend any as the buttons have been coded so well by Andy for the default skin that any other skin you would lose functionality.

    I was more after the screenshots of what pressing i would show, as the screenshots in your link are the bits that wifey wouldnt see often.

    But tbh, its not a deal breaker, it just would of been nice to show the boss them
