    Which box to have for around £250

    HI Peepz
    I don't know which box to get. I had a openbox s9 which I think has packed up today.
    I looking at getting a new box, technomate nano or a Vu box?
    What would you senior members on ere recommend I go for best image, picture, auto bouquets, ease of use, support.

    thankz

    The VU Solo2 isn't far off your budget along with the £5 forum members discount.
    Depends on your needs though. Only satellite? cable or terrestrial needs?

    Vu solo2 is perfect. No driver issues.

    The miracle boxes are worth a look St. No personal experience but some feedback on forum and all positive thus far.

    My mistake they are not that cheap, not much difference in price from the vu 2 solo. Which 1 is better. I think the vu had better spec and reviews

    I have both the Solo 2 and the Miraclebox Premium, the Solo 2 wins hands down it's probably one of the Best receivers you can get for satellite
    and the only advantage the Miraclebox has over the Solo 2 is that it has Detachable Tuners so you can have Terrestrial if you want
    but if you just want it for sat go for the Solo2 it's fast very fast you wont regret it, and the price difference is not that much really
    its like buying a car you can go for the average Ford or pay that little bit extra and get a Ferrari get the Ferrari

    Wow, wish you could get a Ferrari for just a few pounds more than a Ford! Either that, our your Ford salesman is a complete rip off, lol

    solo2 is a great box with fixed tuners,you can send a channel list to box or scan the sat and use autobouquet maker [abm ] to adjust your channels when they move,yes you get bbc and itv.
    terrestrial channels from the cable/aerial side of box like the miracle cable/sat box.
    solo2 is twin sat receiver.
