    VU+ Duo 2 Or Ultimo 4K (DVB-S2 Tuners Only)

    Hello Everybody.

    I am looking to upgrade my Solo 2 to a Duo 2 or Ultimo 4K, so I can use a 3.5 inch drive inside the receiver.
    I would like just the receiver with the tuners no hard drive,if possible but I am open to anything.

    Thanks

    Big difference between these 2 receivers, the 4K being Arm based (Oscam only) and with FBC tuners.
    <if you really want to stay with Vu+, I think there is a new box on the horizon.
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> DUR-Line DCR 5-1-8-L4 Multiswitch to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Spaun SUS 5581/33 NFA Multiswitch to 80 cm dish(19.2E)
    .......................> FBC & DVB-S2X into 90cm dish (27.5W) Opticum robust Unicable LNB
    AX HD61, Edision Osmio 4K+, Zgemma H9Combo, Octagon SF8008 , gbtrio4k, h9se using Legacy ports on multiswitches
    Zgemma H9 C/S into Giga4K

    Both are excellent receivers but I would go with the Vu+ Ultimo 4K.

    Hi,
    Ultimo 4K is a very good receiver but with 2 disadvantages over the Duo2:
    1. No WOL only WOWL (Wake on WLan) which is no so wide supported as WOL.
    2. you cannot use the internal WiFi as an AP if you have cable connection to your network.

    So U4K is very good but not perfect. I would also buy the U4K again and not the Duo2 alone because of speed and FBC.

    ciao

    i am thinking about selling my duo2 it has 2x hybrid cable tuners also installed (so acts like 4 tuners) it also has a 2TB WD red HDD already installed
    1 of the hybrid tuners i added to the duo2 mid October with a cost of £70

    if i was to say sell what kind of money would you be offering?
