I think when your not german speaking HBBTV is not of great interest for you.

Well, it is for Dutch & French speaking users as well.

solo2 does more out of the box than quad. Quad doesn't do gigabit ethernet nor transcoding beta or not. I think it shows the Solo2 should have more support from VU+ with drivers etc than quad. The progress they have already is something significant compared to quad - for the end user anyway, developers for images might not agree.

The only way quad looks it may trump the Solo2 is in the number of tuners and types it can do. Obviously for the plug in sat tuners we have to wait and by that time Duo2 might be around, which may be more expensive but judging by the solo2 will be a beast.

Probably not a major difference compared with the differences already mentioned but the Solo2 has a 12 character VFD display (which I don't believe supports picons) and the Quad has a colour LCD display.

so to sum it all up. i wont lose anything buy selling the quad and buying the solo2 as what ever plugin/feature is made in the future for the quad the solo2 should handle aswell as they both are using a 1.3ghz processor and are both using the same Broadcom chipset. from what ive read apart from losing the option of 4 tuners (i only need 2 for 28.2e) im gaining features such as transcoding and gb Ethernet. (the quad should be capable of gb ethernet soon aswell. as they are using the same chipset) and is there anything else that im missing.

With the quad you could get the cable/terrestrial plugin tuner and use either freeview or virgin and then get all the pvr, etc from that through the receiver.

True, but you can add USB tuners to the Solo2. For the user it makes no difference if a tuner is built-in or external (once set up).
