Potential GB Quad+ Buyer

[ikki]

Hi all,

I'm a relative newbie to the Enigma 2 box scene and am thinking of getting the GB Quad+ so have been catching up with all the threads on it.

Now that the drivers have been updated last month, would people recommend this model?

Thanks.

Hi, I have a Quad and have setup a Quad + for a friend, I don't really have any experience with any other of the other Vix supported receivers to compare but I think they are great boxes, never really had any issues.

I have the standard Quad and its a cracking receiver, it does have the occasional driver related issue but so do all the other E2 boxes on the market.

Hello :wave: welcome to the forum I purchased a Quad+ about 3 weeks ago and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was
I also have a Duo2 - LX3 and a Mutant and the Quad+ is just as good as them and like you say now that the Driver issue has been fixed well worth considering, I was also put off because of the driver problem but I really like it
and don't worry about all them old overheating problems it was a false reading because of the drivers, mine is currently running at 30c and it's sat on top of my Mutant :D

Many thanks for the replies, I think I'll go for it! :)

I bought one and am very impressed by it as well as the Vix image.

Loving the features, makes me realise I should've upgraded from my Blade box long time ago!

I had a Blade 7000s for nearly 4 years and when i bought my Solo2 it was like changing to a Motorbike from a Pushbike I wish I had upgraded years ago :)

glad you like the Quad+ it is a very good receiver and should last you years :thumbsup:

How does the transcoding compare with the receivers you mentioned nsw?
Are they all equal in the ability to transcode?

Thanks

[nsw9154]

It's not a feature that I use very often but when I have used it, it worked fine without a problem

[thor1]

do they support internal hard drives if so what size

[nsw9154]

Yes the Quad+ supports a 2.5" Hard Drive

Transcode on the Quad Plus is excellent.

Transcode on the Quad Plus is excellent.

How would it compare with the solo2. And which app can you use for Android with the gigablue?

[divil_a_bit]

The GB Quad+ is my first Enigma2 receiver so I can't compare it to the solo2. Since the driver update it has been excellent.
