    Help Me Please (Need to upgrade)

    Evening All,

    As stated in my welcome thread, I am new to the world of E2 boxes and bought myself a very basic box just to test out and ensure it is something I like before committing money to it. I currently have a Cloud Ibox2+ SE. I have now had this for around 4/5 month and I am happy with how the box has been so wanting to upgrade to a more serious box. Unfortunately, I do not have the knowledge I would like before committing to a bigger purchase - but that is where you guys come in! I really would appreciate your help, I will include as much info as I can that I believe will help, if you need any further info just ask - I will be more then happy to help. A list of points I believe will be valid in helping choose the correct box:

    1) MUST be fast! (Channel switch, menu movement etc, bootup etc)
    2) 2x Sat, 1x cable feed
    3) Give me the ability to watch from a tablet in another room (I have read this is possible with VU+ Duo2, correct me if I am wrong). (IPad)
    4) Reliable
    5) Original (No CLONES)
    6) Have room to fit internal HDD
    7) Not have any issues with record playback/timeshift.

    After spending many hours reading up - it seems to be between VU+ DUO2 and GigaBlue QUAD+. However, if there is a better alternative PLEASE do advise. I don't mind reading etc so I will be happy to read up on other boxes etc.

    Budget is not really an issue, I have around £500 at the moment but if I need to spend more, I will. I would just like a top range box so I do not need to worry about 'Upgrading' to a better box. The way I see it is, you can make 1 purchase of £500. Or buy multiple boxes (upgrades each time) and end up spending £X,000's.

    All your advice will be appreciated!

    3. All E2 receivers can do this.
    5. Buy froma reputable seller who does not sell clones. Sponsor is among them.
    6. Is form factor a consideration? i.e 2.5/3.5 inch HDD?
