    Edision os-mega, to buy or not to buy?

    Hi all,
    I have been the very happy owner of a vu solo2 for the past two years, I love vu's, got a zero in the kids room and an se in the bedroom, however I am considering replacing my solo2 with an OS-Mega, am I mad? The spec seems so good for the money. Am I right in thinking I can have 3 sat feeds and one terrestrial connected at the same time? My only negative is the gaudy white writing on the front panel that cheapens the product. Can someone convince me this a good idea and I'll buy one tonight and report back?

    I've got one and it's my main receiver, the specs is very good value for money.
    It's got 3 sat feeds and 1 terrestrial, however I'm. Only using 2 sat feeds on mine.

    Edision os-mega, to buy or not to buy?

    What's the performance compared to the vu solo2 1300mhz chip, is it a big step up from that?

    and also compared to the Arm chip in the mutant hd.

    Theres no massive difference in speed between all 3 of them. I'd say the OS Mega and HD51 are slightly snappier than the Solo2.

    For me its the spec of the OS Mega that makes it stand out. 3 Tuners, 2x Satellite tuner and the 3rd tuner is a multi-tuner that can be used for either DVB-S/S2, DVB-C or DVB-T2. Internal HDD, universal remote 512mb flash and 1GB ram. Embedded WiFi too.

    Ah decisions on what receiver to buy.

    Budget is £200. I have twin sat input. Use oscam so Arm is fine for me.

    Maxal you have had both the mutant and the Os mega. Which do you prefer.

    Hi guys, I got my OS Mega delivered today and I'm sitting here fitting the HDD when I realize there is an empty space where the fan should be. I looked at the spec on the sponsors website and sure enough the fan is listed as optional in the specs however there is no option to buy the fan on the site. Is the fan necessary? I'm a tad worried and a bit pissed to be honest if it is.

    Hopefully it's doesn't require a fan.

    My xp1000 is fanless.

    The HD supplied will a 5200rpm so won't generate that much heat.

    It's not required, Edision don't even have the fans as not needed.

    I hope you're right but I wonder why it's listed as an option on the specs, why there is a socket labeled fan on the PCB and why every picture of the OS-Mega features a fitted fan? Even the box on the trailer has a fan.

    Its an optional extra. If it is was a necessity it would not be optional.

    I'm sure it would have been tested without a fan before going on sale.
