What Enigma 2 Receiver to buy

**bartjunited** · 05-09-16, 22:11

Hi if I have started this thread in the wrong place please advise where i should post to.

I have a VU Solo 2 and am thinking of changing my box, I love the vix image so want your opinions on what box I should go for.

I would want a twin tuner with a 2.5inch HDD capability?

Or would you advise not to bother?

cheers

Bart

bit lost on that question as the solo2 rocks as its still an excellent box with 2 fixed sat tuners and can have a 2.5 sata hdd inserted.

where you thinking of cable tuners then vu duo2 or the xtrend range can have mix and match swappable tuners

Hi, I'm not looking at Cable or combos. My box has been crashing a bit lately and freezing and someone suggested it could be the box. Hence I thought IF I am going to change what would people advise. Generally very happy with the solo but keep getting mails from wos about all these new boxes so I get a bit lost in translation with them all especially these xtrend ones

wos like to mass email people who bought stuff and every now and again something nice and tasty comes up

if box is crashing i would start afresh with new image and no settings restore to see if box has a bug.
i have a solo2 here and not thinking of changing it yet.

I agree with Avalon, try to find out why the solo2 is misbehaving first, it's still one of the best boxes you can buy so unless it has serious hardware issues I see very little reason to spend money on another box if you already have one of the best out there already.

Thanks guys that was my hunch

Managed to grab a nearly new et8000 twin sat of ebay recently best box i have owned only cost just over £100 delivered with 500gb HDD well happy

How can you tell what condition it's in and whats better about the box than a vu solo 2?

The sales invoice was in the box

the et8000 has 3 tuner slots so you can mix and match between sat and cable tuners its now running 2 sat and 1 cable tuner and can house full fat HDD and the smaller 2,5 drives

Confused, your Solo 2 already has 2.5" HDD facility.
