    Don't have to upgrade, still a good deal for a twin tuner with added azbility to make 4 tuners.

    Solo2 is a gret looking box, cant really go wrong with eitht

    so, since the solo became a twin tuner, what's the new duo going to become?

    a duo2 with 2 tuners is probably a waste.

    not the original duo as there fixed tuners, the duo2 will have removable tuners like the uno and ultimo.
