    New VU+ Zero

    Hi,
    in the VU+ git there appeared a sign of a new model called VU+ Zero. The patches for that model mainly consists of
    if SystemInfo["PVRSupport"]:
    so perhaps a model without tuner and/or possibility to add a storage device.

    What they really need is a new flagship. I'm still anxiously awaiting an Ultimo2 or so.
    As it is now they've lost the competition in the higher class boxes.
    IMHO adding two low-spec boxes like the SoloSE & Zero won't do them much good.

    It must have a tuner because there are changes to blindscan.

    Great for campervans as it runs from an external 12v supply. An ideal entry level receiver.

    Doubt it, current published price would be €123 (including VAT) in Ireland + shipping costs to add on, making it even more expensive.
    While VU make quality products, placing a new single tuner box with a processor not up to current standards & at that price, the clone makers will still make a killing.

    Does look like a nice box though.

    1st December in Europe, so I would think it would be close to that over here.

    I think it will see off the Solo1 and Duo1 clones (assuming the price is around 100 euro's / 100 pounds plus the dreaded).

    It's a lower cpu spec than the current gen, but still higher than those older box's and with more ram and flash space than them both too.

    So atleast there will be an option to buy a genuine box with support and warranty with a high spec than the gen1 clones.

    Ok the Solo2 clones are another matter, but Vu+ seem to be doing an ok job of atleast making people weary of buying a clone solo2 / duo2 atm.
