    Want to buy good reciever with good image support

    Hi
    I am looking to upgrade from my dm800se. I only need 1 sat tuner but would like to have lots of options for images. Is the vu solo se a good choice or are there better ones that have more choice on images and support?

    What would you all advise to get that will last a while?

    I would go for either the Mut@nt HD51 or Giga UE 4K ... both 4K, both have multiple images and both have multiboot built in and supported by most images - so multiboot gives you an option to flash multiple images to the receiver and flip between them.
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> DUR-Line DCR 5-1-8-L4 Multiswitch to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Spaun SUS 5581/33 NFA Multiswitch to 80 cm dish(19.2E)
    .......................> FBC & DVB-S2X into 90cm dish (27.5W) Opticum robust Unicable LNB
    AX HD61, Edision Osmio 4K+, Zgemma H9Combo, Octagon SF8008 , gbtrio4k, h9se using Legacy ports on multiswitches
    Zgemma H9 C/S into Giga4K

    My views:
    Most images provide Vu+ support with difficulty ... they are a difficult company with a poor support history ... typical Korean company:- expensive - selling on Brand name, nice looking product, great PR, poor after care.
    Specwise:- their top of the line product (Ultimo) offers more than the other brands at a price (FBC- Sat & Cable tuners) but outside of that its pretty competitive.

    If you want the best receiver on the market at this moment in time, the Vu+ Ultimo 4K blows everything out of the water. An outstanding receiver.

    Gigablue UE4k for value for money and they are still updating the drivers (and No - I bought the more expensive model, so not pushing what I have bought!)

    I like the look of the mut@nt and specs. Would this be a good choice?
    Do you think it will be updated regularly?
