You cant compare a Gigablue 800SE with a Duo..

Thats a chalk and cheese comparision..

Duo obviously alot fast Than the SE..
Twin tuner and single tuner..

Duo fantastic for a main box..
800SE a fantstic budget bedroom box..

So its unfair to compare them..

Why would you even think the UE had internal HDD facility? Its not even in the specs :confused:

From what i remember.. Just FTP the picons to the UE as normal.. Reboot.. And they will show on the front display of your UE..

Its not like the Quad as far as i remember..

The Duo is very stable, and if you have a moving dish I would use that. The GigaBlue tuning system is bugy. Setting up the Gigablue Quad was a nightmare. If it is fixed system you should be okay. I complained about the tuning system, and was told they are still working on the software.
They should have been up front about this in the first place, because I have been changing images to see if it was that. I could not fine tune the box in positioner setup the SNR's are all over the place, informing that it was not locked, when my meter was indicating locked solid.. I had to set it up using a Sat meter on the 2nd output on a twin LNB.

There is currently a driver issue with ALL Gigablue models that is giving in-correct SNR/AGC readings and enigma 2 satfinder cannot be used.
