    Going by the pictures the DUR-line looks fine (small enough), but the Inverto is extremely wide.

    You can always invert one lnb 180degrees if too close.
    I remember doing this with the old Amstrad blue cap lnb's.

    I,ve just moved over to Oscam on my Technomate 3T, Is there a difference using it on a box with a Arm Processer, ie setting it up.

    Cheers

    No different, just that ARM only uses Oscam.

    Cheers Andy
    Thats reassuring
    Now all i have to do is make up my mind (which is in a whirl at the moment).

    Budget wise i have 3 choices:

    1. VU+Uno4K with Turbo Tuner. I know you like VU+
    2.Mutant H51 (and lose a s2 tuner)
    3.Octagon SF4008 (when available)
    And i believe Twol likes No2

    I rely on more knowledgeable people like yourself and Twol and Robin and many others to help me make a decision.
    Cheers

    Advice on VU+ 4K Uno two satellite LNB choices

    I would seriously look at Option 3. I like the Vu+ Uno 4K, and with the FBC Tuner it has endless recording possibilities, but you need the Unicable II/JESS LNB to fully utilise that, so if that isn't what you want, then Option 3 could be your best bet.

    P.S. Not endless, but lots of recording possibilities.

    But be aware that option 3 doesn't do transcoding and HbbTV (at least not as far as I know now).

    Andy, Rob
    Thank You for your comments, Its a big help.
    I don,t need loads of recording options, Just 2 or 3, Or transcoding.
    So option 3 does indeed look best.

    Always get my box,s from WOS, Well my last two anyway(Uno and 3T and Mag 254 and twin tuner for the Uno)
    With Vix image when available of course.
    Thanks again
    Guys

    Be good to hear what you thoughts are if you do go with Option 3.

    I,ll be more than happy to report back, May be a while though.
    From what others are saying getting one of these box,s, May mean waiting a while longer.
    Some are quoted as saying towards the end of this month.
    I think team Vix will be at the ready though.
