    Help - Going to buy Satellite receiver.

    Hi

    Totally new to this. I have cancelled Sky and looking to get a Satellite Receiver.

    Can anbody tell me what the main difference is with these two. Will the Xtrend work perfectly OK? I will want to schedule record programs.

    VU Solo 2

    Many thanks

    however, solo2 is a great box , the et8000 is also good but no transcoding

    I would personally go with the Vu+ Solo2. It is an amazing receiver, gorgeous to look at and to top it off, a remote to die for. CrossEPG runs much quicker on the Vu+ as well as opposed to the Extrend's.
