    Hehe. Not turning my nose up at technomate . Have just read loads on vu+ boxes. You've put me right off the GB ue because it was a candidate and looking a little closer at reviews and forum feedback I agree with you 100% re: single core.

    OK, so I've got my discount code

    I'm going to go for the solo2 with black hole as the initial image, will cycle through all other images later .

    I seriously considered the miraclebox however there isn't much in terms of reviews (in English at least)

    Cracking price though for what it is , just not comfortable to take a chance. Prefer to go for the tried and tested .

    Thanks for all the help guys, really appreciate it.

    I think that's a matter of opinion. I've been testing the Miraclebox Mini HD, imo it outperforms any other STB with the same CPU that is currently on the market.
