    Good alternative to vu plus solo 2

    Hi,

    Is this box a good alternative to the vu plus solo 2?
    I have a solo 2 at the moment and I am thinking to buy this for the extra dvb-t tuner and the price of course.

    Doing a mistake?
    Any recommendation are welcome

    It’s a very good alternative to the Vu+ Solo2. Bargain at £99.

    There is no Kodi plugin.

    Ok. That's not good for me I think.
    I am using Kodi on the solo 2 at the moment and it is not too bad.
    I was hoping to get the 3rd dvb-t tuner and keep Kodi.

    Thanks for the advise.
    I don't like the idea of multiple box and remotes under TV.
    How do you manage the remote issue with more than one device?

    Logitech Harmony remote would solve all your problems.
    Also I much prefer a nice user experience for Kodi as opposed to an AIO (All In One) experience which isn’t as user friendly (I.e. e2 Kodi)
