Which box to have for around £250

[abu baniaz]

The latest image from the Vix team is Apollo.

The best image is teh one that you like the most. Try them and decide on teh one you like. Being the Vix forum, most peope here will say that is their preferred one.

There is a second hand solo for £200 in the classifieds.

sorry guys about mentioning the wrong things.
Stanman goes "Our VIX image AndyB has coded it so that everything is within the image and no need to add anything extra"
But then Phoenix goes "The sponsor will not set the image up for you, he will flash the image to make sure it boots and that's about it"
I think I'm deffo gonna go for the "VU+ Solo 2 Twin Tuner DVB-S2 HD Enigma2 Linux Satellite Receiver"
Is the best image to go for the VIX then? I'm sure the guys will load the lattest and most stable?
There is a lot of talk of Apollo, is this going to be the best? how long we got to wait for that?
Shall I get the HDD aswell, coming in at a total of £349
I'm sure i'll be back on ere asking questions once I've purchased. ;-)

The box has the EPG integrated as well as auto updating of the channels.

Obviously you will need to set it up for your locality.

The sponsor will flash with the image of your choice but will not personalise it for you nor install any cams.

What with Technomate history of driver issues??? Come on you gotta be kidding me!!

Different chipset and different drivers

Of course the box has different hardware. But TM-driver issues have a record over ALL their Enigma2-supporting hardware.
And what about TM-support for USB-tuners and HbbTV?
