New receiver, Duo2 or ET10000?

[bug2k14]

Currently have a Vu+ Solo2, been a great receiver for the last couple of years.
I'm looking get something like the Duo2 or ET10000 which can support more tuners and full hardware transcoding.

I really liked the Vu+ app, but it appears it only allows viewing of transcoded streams rather that the original stream. I've found transcoded streaming to be very poor quality and choppy. While viewing the original stream through the web interface has been perfect, it's just not as family friendly as the app.

I'm hoping the hardware transcoding might improve the streaming.

I'd appreciate any experience of these receivers or other alternatives.

Thanks.

I have duo 2 and the iPad app works fine

Xtrend have an Android app, or use Blackbox on iOS.

For me the colour LCD I'm not a fan of, imo Et10k price is a no brainier compared to Duo2 price for the same spec.

The Mutant is more versatile in the tuner slot options.

Same as ET10k.

Thanks, might give the ET10000 a go, looks to be a similar spec to the duo2. I don't like the look of the colour display on the duo, but all the white logo/writing on the Et10000 doesn't look great either, the white one looks a little better.

I have the Duo2 - Mut@nt HD2400 and the ET10k and i can thoroughly recommend the ET10k

Hey nsw9154 I am looking to replace a Technomate Nano 3-T which while good does have some stability issues and I am thinking quad tuners is the way to go. I have narrowed my choice down to either the Mutant HD2400 and the ET10k and apart from the hardware transcoding usb port quantity and Ethernet port quantity they both seem very similar in most other regards.

I was wondering what is your impression of each of these boxes strengths and weaknesses in everyday use and which is your personal choice between the two?

Xtrend have an Android app

If you have the OpenViX image over Stock, will the Xtrend apps etc still function as normal, or does this require stock image?

[Sicilian]

Yes apps work as normal.

Put your tin hat on methinks...

The Mut@nt HD2400 is a fantastic receiver and the remote is nice when you get used to it. Only took me a day or two to like it. Also sinceI've had mine, not had to charge the remote up yet. Super duper!!

it is a bit small. All the buttons are squashed together . Terrible remote. Xtrend or Vu make much nicer remotes. Plus they are universal too.

Wow it makes me laugh about remotes who cares has long has the box works well and I got to admit The Mutant HD 2400 will knock spots off any Vu or Xtrend .
