Hi, what are you looking for in a satellite box? Recordable? Single or twin feed? The Vu+ Duo has been a great box, but quite dated now. Still a good box though if setup right, especially setting a swapfile up, this is essential, easy to do too.

i'm not really bothered about recording I just wanna box that's not going to keep glitching and freezing all the time like my skybox f5s plus I want a box where I can put some plug-ins and stuff on it plus I don't know if it can be done I have a nas box with my media on it was hoping I can connect to it and play my media through the satellite box

Yeah you can connect your nas box mate. For an extra few quid I would go for the Vu+ Solo2, an exceptional box, best out of em all by a country mile. Here is a link to the sponsor's site for more details; http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/Digital-Satellite-Receivers/Vu/VU-Solo-2-Solo2-Twin-Tuner-DVB-S2-HD-Enigma2-Linux-Satellite-Receiver

If you didn't want to spend that much this looks a cracking box, the miraclebox. This is the link to this box via sponsor site; http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/Digital-Satellite-Receivers/Miraclebox-Linux-HD-Receivers/Miraclebox-Premium-Mini-HD-2x-dvb-s-s2

I would recommend ViX image, great software and great support and loads of plugins available via the feeds. :thumbsup:
