    VU+ Solo2 - adding dvb t2 tuner?

    Hi.

    I'm currently using a VU+ Solo2 with a freesat aerial/connection in England. I will shortly be moving to a new home and I'm aware that it has a Freeview aerial but not satellite/freesat.

    Is it possible to add a dvb tuner for Freeview use, to my Solo2?

    I have a cable tuner add on module in a Duo2 which was just converted to Freeview using my old aerial input.

    That works, but unfortunately the Solo2 is a cheap version of the Duo2 and does not have swappable tuner modules

    Seemingly the Xbox usb tuner works and they are cheap. The RTL-SDR dongles also work. And of course the VU Turbo tuner if you can get them but probably a bit more expensive.
