TM800 HD or TM 500 HD?

[chatelain]

I am about to buy a Linux receiver but cannot choose between TM800 HD and TM 500 HD. Is there any difference between these two receivers? If so which one would you recommend? Thank in advance.

[Mr. Mister]

If its a single tuner stb your looking for.. The the Vu+ Solo is the best of the lot.. Bar None..

Have a look at the sponsors website..

TM800 is HD and enigma 2, TM500 is not HD unless you confused it with DM500HD which is but much more expensive and not worth the money.

Bucks for bangs TM800 is good value from the sponsor at £139, this retailed at £199 for a long time. You may be able to get a further £5 off for member discount.
