Hi,
I was thinking of buying Vu+ Zero, but the seller I contacted is trying to convince me to buy Furmuler 3 instead.
He says - both receivers are identical but Furmuler 3 has double memory size.
I looked up the specifications of F3 and I see the same memory size, so perhaps that is not true, or different versions of F3?
However, it seems that Zero has no SPDIF audio out - how could it be? I need it.
On the other hand, Formuler 3 has no ViX image. Or I can't find it.....
So I am at a loss. If only Zero had SPDIF. If only Formuler 3 had ViX image. It does work with OpenPLi though, I'm told.
Anyway, I need a new receiver because already second of my Vu+ receivers is dying. First Duo, now Ultimo. Both the same way - using more and more current and getting hotter and hotter.
Ultimo, when hot, began doing strange things, like blocking the internet for the whole lan, or not opening encrypted channels after a channel change. Or responding very slowly to remote. Worse, suddenly the internal hard drive became empty. Maybe self-re-initialized or something. I made a mistake of running filesystem check with Ultimo itself.
It unexpectedly made some modifications, created missing folders at least. So the chances of recovery of anything from that disk are now even lower.
Duo gone. Ultimo going. How long my Duo2 will last?
And what next receiver to buy to replace Ultimo?
I had enough of expensive dual receivers I don't really need (because I use two receivers anyway with two dishes and two TVs) that do not last. That's why I want to try a cheap single tuner receiver.
