Hi All,

Hi All,

Here to introduce myself as Tiger!
Soon to purchase a receiver.
Think i'm going for a VU + Solo 2 as i dont think the Duo is worth the extra expense.

I just wanna watch some tv, i was going to get a V8S but bad reviews have steered me to the VU range.
I want whatever is easy to use, or the one that does most of the hard work itself as all this seems very complicated.
I'm a first timer to this.

I have a Sky dish which gives me FTA in 3 rooms. I use a humax freesat PVR to record and sky hd boxes on the other 2 which are junk.
Not really too bothered about recording, with a VU+ i can add a hdd later if i need but i have 2 large usb hdd (apple time capsule's) also
which if work with a VU box would be great.

So any advice would be great, i guess i should plant myself in the VU section!

anyone recommend any other receiver as 'the best' or 'better' than a VU+ Solo 2.
Anything easier to use??

I will be buying from world of satellite and was thinking of having 'openvix' pre-installed.
Would this be a good choice?

The only thing i dont want is to use the internet to stream the programs as i am limited to how much
i can download, i have a spare 10gb per month available but not enough to watch streams.


Thanks all
