    I would defintely recommend him. He only sells genuine items. He normally dispatches for next day delivery.

    Yeah thats what puts me off as I like my hdd to be internal. I'll stick to my trusty Vu+ Uno even though its dated its a great single tuner box for the bedroom.

    yes sorry my mistake, the solo SE can only take the single tuner not the twin.

    If the receiver can accommodate a internal HDD the put one in, if it cant just go for a powered USB drive as some boxes have issues with bus powered HDD's drawing too much power.

    W can only help with card in your receiver. Have a look at this thread. You don't need to download from another site, you can download the cams from the plugin menu. You will have to surce your own config files, they won't be installed.
