    ET8500 is a steal and a no brainer imo.

    I have a Vu duo & SE. So I went for XTREND ET 10000 HD 2X DVB-S2 TUNER BLACK PVR READY LINUX FULL HD HBBTV RECEIVER, something different.

    It may well be the future but E2 was never written for E2 and it still requires a lot more work in this respect.in my opinion they should have created a new OS for the arm boxes instead of jumping on the E2 bandwagon.

    The main issue is that satellite manufacturers are really lazy.

    They will do the bare minimum with regard to software development and just jump onto the E2 bandwagon. Knowing full well the scene it self will in most cases fix issues.
