Mine gets hotter than that.
Maybe because i am doing something more demanding from the receiver. I dont know.
Mine can reach up to 50c. And feels very hot

I have to disagree i'm afraid. I have both and out all 4 receivers I have, the Xtrend ET10K is my least fave (4th).

Andy m8, can i ask why you would bring it last, and what other boxes are you running m8, would you say the mut@nt 24hs is cheap looking, and as blu-ray states the price is dropping, then i ask myself,why would a top end box start to drop money on it, if it was a good end box, I appreciate all the info [ good & bad ] i have been receiving from this thread....cheers guys !!

I think the Mut@nt is sexy and different. I like the blue buttons when lit up and blue display. I don't think its cheap looking at all, I personally think the Xtrend 10K isn't a nice looking box, I don't like the Xtrend's remote either.
Don't be put off by the price drop at all, you could say the same about the Xtrend's price drop also.
My Mut@nt HD2400 is my fave (1st), then my Vu+ Solo2, then my Vu+ Uno and the Xtrend ET10K.
Like I say this is just my personal opinion, but the Mut@nt does look sexy, photo's don't do it justice to be fair.

Very surprising you dont like the xtrends remote control. It is by far more superior than the mut@nt. It is universal. Its automatically better in every way......

Both the Mut@nt and the ET10000 are the same boring rectangular boxes ... now the ET8500 .. that is different, and it has a proper display
... but everybody to their own .............

Yeah but I prefer like most to watch the TV

...I think the remote is a big factor when choosing between receivers. ....

No idea why it should be. I never ever use any device-RC at all (they are all piled in the cupboard) and nor would you once you had tried a Harmony.
An 'activity-based' RC is far superior over any device-RC.

The only slight issue that i get a bit concerned about with the xtrend is that it gets quite hot when using it. Up to around 50 degrees.

So that's not hot at all!

Well most people do not choose to buy a separate remote for their receiver. They would like a good solid remote that would do the job fine as well as being universal. A harmony remote is just another expense if the default remote is terrible. I have to say the VU remote was also quite nice.


Really?
I have owned a Vu Duo a solo 2 and briefly a mut@nt and none of them got anywhere near as hot as 50c.
