    Which box to buy

    Just wondering which box is best to buy. Looking at the vu+ duo2 and not sure what I need as far as the connections on the back? Dvbs2 or dvbct/twin or single? Just after a quick bit of advice as I did try and call world of satellite and also email but got no response as yet.

    What are your requirements? Satellite only? Satellite and Cable?

    I've got the 2 s$y feeds and would like to be able to watch one and record one ideally, that's about it. I do Aldi have a normal cable (free to air) lead available too. The main one though is watching one s$y and recording another. Just to be able to mimic the old s$y box really.
