Mut@nt 2400 or xtrend 10000

[joysleep1]

I think the Mut@nt is sexy and different. I like the blue buttons when lit up and blue display. I don't think its cheap looking at all, I personally think the Xtrend 10K isn't a nice looking box, I don't like the Xtrend's remote either.
Don't be put off by the price drop at all, you could say the same about the Xtrend's price drop also.
My Mut@nt HD2400 is my fave (1st), then my Vu+ Solo2, then my Vu+ Uno and the Xtrend ET10K.
Like I say this is just my personal opinion, but the Mut@nt does look sexy, photo's don't do it justice to be fair.

Very surprising you dont like the xtrends remote control. It is by far more superior than the mut@nt. It is universal. Its automatically better in every way......

...I think the remote is a big factor when choosing between receivers. ....

No idea why it should be. I never ever use any device-RC at all (they are all piled in the cupboard) and nor would you once you had tried a Harmony.
An 'activity-based' RC is far superior over any device-RC.

The only slight issue that i get a bit concerned about with the xtrend is that it gets quite hot when using it. Up to around 50 degrees.

So that's not hot at all!

Well most people do not choose to buy a separate remote for their receiver. They would like a good solid remote that would do the job fine as well as being universal. A harmony remote is just another expense if the default remote is terrible. I have to say the VU remote was also quite nice.


Really?
I have owned a Vu Duo a solo 2 and briefly a mut@nt and none of them got anywhere near as hot as 50c.

Nor do I. You buy a Harmony just once to command all your devices in a very comfortable way.
And no need for an expensive Harmony at all!

Yes, really.
First of all: the temperature readout is very much dependant on where the sensor is. If it's inside the SoC you might even see 170 degrees without having to worry.
The DUO doesn't even have a temperature sensor, so one has no idea about the values of that box.

Have to say I agree with you Rob , (although I personally don,t like the Harmony ) it does a perfectly good job not just for E2 receivers but almost any audio/sound device, and means that you can stack all your remotes in a drawer for emergencies - like my visiting relatives
So remotes are (in my view) only a valid reason for buying one box or another when you only have a receiver plus TV ... and no other gear.

Thanks for all the feedback from this thread guys, iv`e decided to go for the Mut@nt 2400hd, basically because it has twin tuners as standard, as with the xtrened having single tuners, not to sure about the usb charging remote, but, will see how it goes, and then maybe i`ll have a look at the harmony remote, but as it would only be for the tv + box, so maybe an expense i dont need, Thanks for all the help guys....cheers !!

PS.. Yes, i bought the box from WOS....

I do not know what you mean when you say it the mut@nt has twin tuners as standard.
They are both quad tuners.
