    Hehe, IMHO 'zero' stands for 'zero options'. No sp/df, no choice in tuner.
    I think for that price there are plenty of other choices.

    I guess from this post, and some of your other posts on the VU+ boxes, that you're not a real fan of the VU+ line-up. I asked a question a couple of years ago and never got an answer...

    For me, this box is the answer to that question

    That is guessed wrong; this the question was only about the Zero. IMHO the Zero is not a good choice, as it is expensive for what it offers. There are better choices.
    But apart from that: there is no ViX-image for this box.

    Rob, please can you lost a couple of alternatives you feel are better for the same price I.e. Around £100.00 price range?

    What would you recommend for me, based on the info I posted in the link above?

    That's a shame. Will there be one in future, once the box is released?

    As far as I can tell, neither of these have external remote sensor, and for me are a bit too big to sit comfortably behind a swivel bracket wall mounted TV. As far as I'm aware the only 2 E2 boxes that have external remote sensor are the Solo SE and this new Zero. Again the Solo SE is a bit too big for me.

    IMHO I think its good as I want to mount it in the wall and it keeps the remote layout the same as the other VU in the house.

    Also, I'm sure VIX will support it soon or is this a problem ATM?

    As always: everybody makes his own choices. As long as all options are considered, that's rather good.

    How are these better / better value than the Zero ?

    Serious question as from the info I found, 1 is the same price the other is more expensive.

    The more expensive 1 only has a 500mhz cpu, and only 1 usb port.

    Neither have IR blasters.

    ET4k is same price as Zero, but has less ram and flash space.

    The XP1000 only has 500mhz, less flash space (same Ram), 1 usb and is more expensive.
