Hi

I am looking at buying a quad tuner receiver and found the mutant 2400. I have tried to find reviews online but cannot seem to discover any.
What are peoples on on this box ? I would obviously want a stable box etc with decent image support.
Currently I own a extrend et9000 that I bought from world of satellite and I have found it to be a good box using the fix images.

Are there any other or better options than the mutant for quad tuners?

Thanks

The Mut@nt HD2400 is an excellent receiver or you can also look at the Vu+ Duo2.

That's good to hear. Can you buy a vu+ duo 2 with quad tuners ?

[Andy_Hazza]

Yeah you can. WoS are due to get some more stock soon, but here is the link > http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/Digital-Satellite-Receivers/Vu/VU-Plus-Duo2-Duo-2-2x-Twin-Tuner-DVB-S2-HD-Enigma-2-Linux-Satellite-Receiver
Could always drop WoS an email to ask when they are expecting some more in.

I have heard about vu+ for a long time and I am under the impression that they are very good boxes? Seem to be expensive but very? I will send wos a email and see how much the quad tuner setup would be and when they are expecting the next delivery.

[Andy_Hazza]

Yeah Vu+ are solid quality boxes and the remotes are great too.

buy the mutant its a better box regards john

[wullboy]

Yes i`ve had a vu+ duo2, and i now have a Mut@n 2400, and the Mut@nt seems a better box, apart from the remote, which i find is too small to operate properly, but still a good box ??

[drphibes]

The mutant does sound good. How does the extrend et10000 compare to both of these boxes? Seems like all three have their fans.

[Andy_Hazza]

I would choose the Mut@nt HD2400 over the Xtrend ET10K.

i bought a vu+ duo2 after a solo 2 and was really disappointed with it, i think the mutant beats the lot also the remote may be small but it does what you tell it
thats more than the duo that gust ignores you regards jovie

[drphibes]

I ordered the Mutant 2400hd from wos and it arrived today. Looking forward to testing it out over the weekend.

[johnrichard]

please let us know how you get on regards john

First impressions are its a nice upgrade from my extrend et9000. Feels a lot more responsive and looks nice with the Vix Blue hd skin.
Remote control is on the small side and I can see why some dont like it due to the buttons being quite close to each other but its not a deal breaker at all.
Might look into a Harmony 650 remote because it is something I have thought about buying for awhile to control my various boxes. Anybody here got experience with it and is it reasonable to setup for the mutant ?

The vu duo 2 is technically not a quad tuner tho is it?

I think the xtrend et 10000 is better due to a universal quality remote and the fact it can take both size hardrives. Plus it looks nicer too:)

Only comes as a twin out of the box but can easily fit another Twin tuner to turn it into a Quad tuner receiver. WoS do offer this service or you can buy a twiner Vu+ tuner and fit it yourself, very easy to install.

but i thought it has only 3 slots.
Can you have 2 satellite tuners and two cable tuners like you can on the mut@nt or xtrend?

Yeah you can have a twin hybrid cable tuner so could do 2x satellite and 2x cable or if you want 4x satellite you just get a twin satellite tuner.

Twin hybrid cable tuner isn't listed on WoS to buy but is an option to add when buying a Vu+ Duo2. Could always ring/email Stef at WoS and enquire.

oh i thought that twin hybrid thingy was only for vu solo 4k box.
I dont even know how that twin hybrid works because you need one tuner to loop to another cable tuner without splitting the feed

[abu baniaz]

the twin hybrid has only one input. the splitter is within the tuner.

it is compatible with most Vu receivers with a tuner slot.

Gigablue has a twin hybrid tuner module, but on the Ultra UE supports this tuner module.
