Hi all,
I have been browsing these forums for a long time. I have bought various boxes of yourselves over the last couple of years for myself and for friends. My set up currently is an old DM800 which was my first box (this is the one in question I am looking to replace). I have a crap skybox f5 in the bedroom which is just a second box which hardly gets used and does the job whenever I want to watch football upstairs.
I have purchased and set up a Vu+ Duo for a friend and a technomate nano 3t combo for my mum as she has cable and sky connections - so basically I have a bit of experience with different boxes.
However now that I am looking to replace my old dreambox, as it's slow and doesn't support much of the new software, I find myself stuck as to which box to go for. Whether to try something new again or stick with what I have used. In my opinion the technomate nano 3t and the vu duo 2 are almost on power. The cable tuner is impressive but the slickness of the duo is so nice to use. I have no need for a cable tuner in my house at present but who knows what might happen down the line ;).
I have also looked at the xtrend et8000 which I have no experience of and was looking for some advice about this? Is it on power with the 3t and the duo? And what about the solo se or the zero? Are they a bit over priced for what you get in the box? Last question (I promise) - I have seen the Edison OS mini twin tuner pop up a couple of times but I have never heard of it before. It seems a bit cheap for having the features it does. Anyone experience of these boxes yet?
Thanks
Scott
