    Personally and I know some will disagree with me, but I would never even consider a SH4 based receiver (Alien2) and it's hacked to pieces excuse for a OS, if you want a enigma based receiver buy a genuine broadcom based receiver, you will notice the difference in performance and it will out live any of the sh4 based rubbish out there.

    Vu+ Zero hands down, its a lot more versatile and its better supported.

    The Alien 2 is OK for just watching TV on, but if your after all the whistles and bells then go for the Vu+. The Alien 2 is very hit and miss even now.

    Same specs but don't get the images confused, you can NOT load Vu+ images onto a TM receiver and vice versa.

    No offence intended but there are some rite numpties out there these days, so much so that you literally have to tell them their coffee is hot and might burn them, better to play it safe than end up with some one moaning that they were not told the images are not cross compatible.
