    Cool

    If I were looking at another box, how would I know if it had an internal splitter?

    The tuner is dual/twin..... http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...n-tuner-module

    The dual tuner provides the function of 2 individual DVB-C / T / T2 Single tuners without an additional loopthrough cable. The voltage applied to the RF IN signal is internally passed along to the two built-in tuners.

    Wow guys thanks so much for all your help I really do appreciate it.

    I'm so used to the speed of the Solo2, I don't want to get a box that will be slower and thus deemed a downgrade.

    I'm currently looking at the following

    1) http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...os-mega-osmega (Is this only a single dvb-c or would it have an internal splitter?)

    2) http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...-2x-dvb-c-t-t2 (Looks like a great box)

    3) http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...tm-twin-4k-s2c (Looks like an unreal box - some spec)

    4) http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...-2x-DVB-C-T-T2 (No Internal HDD and no front display)

    Which one should I go for guys

    When talking about cabletuner boxes, I just want to emphasise that with latest FBC-tuners you don`t need dual-tuners. One FBC-cabletuner with boxes like VU+Uno 4K or VU+Ultimo 4K you will have 8 tuners. So you can forget those twintuner cableboxes and go to the latest technology instead.

    So who cares what wos has in stock at the moment? Octacon SF4008 does not have FBC tuner for cable. VU+ has.

    My friend bassenthound. Not all the people who are asking help from this site are aware what they really need.
    So don`t selll them dualtner boxes if you know that there are better solutions for them like FBC tuner boxes.
    I just do not see any real good reason to have dualtuner box for cablenetwork instead of the box with FBC-cabletuner.

    I agree with you on most of this, I have FBC tuner in my Ultimo 4K, what peeps need to be aware of with FBC running 8 tuners requires 8 ECM requests every 9 seconds, your VM card will start to struggle with that and if you have other boxes on your lan requesting ECM from the card you are asking for trouble.
    VU+ Ultimo 4K 3TB, 1x Twin DVBS-2 FBC / 1x DVB-C FBC/ 1x Twin DVB-T2.

    I do not agree. I have three clientboxes asking ECM requests every 10 secons with camd 35 protocol. No problems so far. Just see how you have connection in oscam.conf file for oscam-oscam. I have this:
    [cs357x]
    port = 27550
    In clientbox oscam.server these:
    [reader]
    label = mycamd357xreader
    description = cam35reader
    protocol = camd35
    device = serverboxip,27550
    user = clientbox username
    password = xxxxx
    fallback = 1
    group = 1,2
