Hi guys

Not sure if this is the correct thread to post this so apologies if not. I have been trying to read up and gather as much information as possible on the various boxes on the market as these are all new to me. My question to you guys is : Can you help or point me in the right direction as to what box would suit my needs, I would need a box with the ability to watch one programme whilst recording another at the same time, it also would need to work over wifi as opposed to ethernet, budget-wise, I would be happy to spend £200 - £300 for quality. Something fairly easy to set up and navigate would also be preferred as i have never used any of these boxes before. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

for that price you can go for a number of boxes, duo2, mutant etc. you can add tuners as well. it seem like the et8000 and 10000, seem very good buys at moment (et10000 better than the 8000). I have the solo2 and have had no issues with it, been a great box.

just upgraded my tm nano2 super box to a duo2 from sponser on here and its bleeping amazing and sponser gives 1st class service cant fault him or the box

ok the lcd on the front of the duo2 some may say is gimmicky but i love it and makes the box look a lot nicer than others around when you consider its on ull show all the time i wanted a box that looks the pat as well as being a damn fine quality product

Thanks folks. The Duo 2 seems popular amongst what ive read so far and the good service you say you have received is re-assuring, think I will most likely go for that box, and i do esp like the lcd on the front as you point out jasper1974. I have noticed there are 5 or 6 options though, like whats the difference between VU+ Duo 2 (1x Twin DVB-S2 Tuner) and VU+ Duo 2 (1x DVB-S2 Single + 1x DVB-C/T/T2 Tuner) apart from £24??

but it you buy a 4k satellite box then would you have to upgrade your tv and av reciever that would be costly

Unless you already have a 4K TV!!!

Chris,

have a look at the Duo2. The current prices are getting so close that the difference in price (between Solo2 and Duo2) is diminishing, especially when you don't need an additional WiFi device....

On a physical level the Duo2 has a built in WiFi, can take 2.5 or 3.5inch HDD and does not need an external power supply.

If you are happy with the existing drive, reuse it.
