    Thanks all

    I've decided either the Edison or Vu+ Zero.

    Which one do you think is best?

    I have both and operational wise there is no difference. It's ViX that makes the box.
    The Zero is very small (about a quarter of the size of the Edison) and mine fits out of sight, behind a wall mounted TV and controlled via the included IR sensor. Very good remote.
    The Edison is cheaper, has on board wifi and bluetooth and also has a very good remote (probably better imo)
    So, if size is not a consideration, then Edison all the way.
