    Can some one tell me what the difference between the Quad and quad plus apart from the Gb Ethernet?
    Cheers

    GBQuad:
    Fast processor with 1GB DDR3 RAM
    2" color display
    3 x USB (1 front + 2 back)
    1 x HDMI, 1 x e-SATA
    2 x PnP tuner (DVB-C2/T2/S2)
    optical, RS-232
    ethernet (RJ-45/100Mbps)
    2 card reader

    GBQuad+:
    new design (available in black and white edition)
    Fast processor with 1GB DDR3 RAM
    large color TFT display
    3 x USB (1 front + 2 back)
    1 x HDMI, 1 x e-SATA
    2 x PnP tuner (DVB-C2/T2/S2)
    optical, RS-232
    ethernet (RJ-45/1000Mbps)
    2 card reader

    So, slight design change, slightly larger display & GB ethernet.

    Just to add, judging by some reports the original Quad runs quite hot. I have a Quad Plus and have never got it over 46C reported on the info screen, even with three tuners in use and recording on the internal HDD.
    GB Quad Plus, Mut@nt HD51, AX HD61, 80cm dish and Supreme Dark motor. Sony TA-AN1000, Sony UBP-X800M2 Bluray, Odroid N2+ (CoreElec), Monitor Audio Bronze 5.1 speakers

    I think only the plus can transcode as well? But could well be wrong.
