just wanted to say hi.
i have just ordered my vu+ duo and awaiting delivery, so i'm doing a lot of research and looking for a stable image, following a bad experience with a DM800hd clone - lots of flashing with patched images - finally had enough and come to my senses.

turns out it's the tuner that has given up - it's had very little use until recently as it has never been that stable, but now i've come to depend on it as my son has got into WWE over-night and is doing my head in while my DM800 is out of action.

i've told the missus it's a right-off as the tuners cost so much - sounds convincing yeh?

i did eventually want a STB with 2 tuners anyway, PVR, HD, etc etc and think that although i paid well under the asking price of a DM800 original, i am now serious enough to pay a reasonable amount for a decent receiver.

enough about my experience though - i'm off to browse the threads.

BTW, thanks for allowing me to register with this forum
