Ultimo vs duo??

[Rob van der Does]

......The nerd in me says the Ultimo. Can upgrade to a 3rd tuner, faster and might play my existing 2GB of movies. better than a Duo??? Thinking of hooking up an external drive with this stuff. Thoughts?....

Although I do understand the "nerds-thoughts", for playback and the use of an external drive that will hardly make any difference.

Thanks for the replies.

I read that some people had problems with playing back various file formats, sync issues and the stuttering on the Duo. I was thinking that the Ultimo would handle better.

(feeble attemt to convice myself to buy the Ultimo..)

The same applies to the Ultimo. An STB will never be a full scale MediaPlayer, as decoding is limited to the codecs build in the hardware. A MediaPlayer or PC can decode much more (variations on) codecs, as they can be handled in software (by the processor).

OK, will help you then: the Ultimo does everything far better and faster then the DUO, hence it's name......

Even better than that:

If you get a Duo you will always wonder if you should have got the Ultimo, if you get the Ultimo and it's too much for your needs, you can always trade it for a Duo and some cash

Also in the future XBMC will come to the Ultimo but not DUO.

It comes down to cost. If you can afford the extra money, than go for the Ultimo, better processor, more ram
