    After a lot of reading up, i came to the conclusion that the 500HD might be good but was over priced.
    The lowest i could find the 500HD was £310 in del/VAT
    I have just got my new Vu+ DUO a TM Gold 0.1 QUAD LNB and 3m Lan cable for £375 inc Del/VAT.

    Apart from the obvious twin tuner, the DUO also has many more connections a larger case (to aid cooling) and a great new image...VIX 1.1 !!!
    Build quality is also top notch, and the front display is clear and easy to read. Even the remote is better.
    The DUO is no slouch, and the image quality stunning.

    Dream have milked people for as long as they can, the 500HD should have been around £200.
    The game has changed/moved on, and for the sake of £40 (or less if i sell the QUAD LNB etc) you are getting a much more rounded machine.
    (that is also well supported on here)

    Wll i've had my 500hd for a month or so and gotta say its a sharp
    well made receiver, why did i buy dm ? because of the history of
    the product, the quality of parts, all the support and for the stunning
    picture quality.
    Sure it has no usb port but a small mod can be done to fit one....the
    vu+ has 2 tuners which is a massive advantage in todays market never
    tried one but may get 1 in the future. I'd like to see dm cheaper for sure
    as was said a bit over priced in todays market but will the rest of the
    market stand the test of time.
