    Honestly Which One

    Ignore the price not a consideration.

    Which one is the best option

    VU+ Solo 4K

    or

    Mutant HD51 4K

    Need at least 2 Sat Tuners

    Will use USB Cable tuner either Sundtek or VU+ turbo Cable tuner

    Or Wait for something better.

    If you need extra hybrid tuner go with Solo4K and get extra plug and play tuner http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/VU-Plus-Solo-4K

    Chip in hd51 offers more capability than the solo 4k.
    If you just want 2 basic tuners then in my view hd51 is better price/performance option.
    Support also look better than the typical Vu "not my problem"
    HD51 is an ugly box, but performs well
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> GT-Sat unicable LNB to 1.5M dish(28.2E)

    .......................> FBC & DVB-S2X into 90cm dish (27.5W) Opticum robust Unicable LNB

    I would also go with the Vu+ Solo 4K that will give you more flexibility.

    Please elaborate on how the chip in the HD51 offers more capability and how this may be of use now or in the future?

    Capability is perhaps the wrong word(my marketing background coming out ) but its a faster chip and offers vp8/vp9 which the solo chip doesn,t.
    It also offers the potential to have multiple images available which Vu doesn,t.
    I guess (?) the Vu+ follow on boxes will use the same or later chip as the hd51/52 in my view( ) Vu rushed the box out to grab the market.

    .... and as a comment when I first had the hd51 I was so disappointed with the externals and remote, I nearly shipped it straight back!

    Many thanks for the coments .
    Looking slightly towards the VU+ Solo 4K
    Are VU+ going to bring out a updated version in near future.
    Maybe VU+ Duo2 4K would be nice.
