I currently have a technomate tm-500 (linux enigma 1) receiver linked up to a motorised dish and wired ethernet. It's used for arabic channels by my wife and I use it for sports - in particular a lot of channel flicking on a saturday afternoon between horses and the footy etc !
It's served me well but is about due for a replacement - it is sluggish when swapping channels etc.
I was looking at the sponsors VU+ Solo for £175 as this is the right sort of money.
Things I would like:
hdmi and scart or video out - that can be used at same time - I send the signals upstairs, old technomate had a rf output so will either get a modulator or run some phono cables.
well supported brand - I like tinkering etc so want to be able to have a choice of images.
streamable to an ipad - I think this is a general enigma 2 feature - I know it doesn't work on my existing technomate - but do you need a decent receiver to get it to work well ?
We have a nice freeview recorder and use downloaded films for most watching so it wouldn't need exceptional quality or full PVR, might just get a flash drive for anything wanting recording.
