My VU+ Uno review

[Sicilian]

Finally got round to setting up my VU+ Uno

First impressions when unpacking is that the Uno lives up to VU+’s other models in terms of build quality etc... One thing I’m really happy with is the looks, think it looks like a classy receiver, looks really smart in my opinion.

Fitted HDD and Connected up to motor dish, flashing ViX was a breeze, simply follow on screen instructions shown on the display. Transferred my Enigma 2 settings and I was up and running in less that 5 mins!

Picture quality is excellent in both SD & HD. Universal remote is a nice feature if you would like to be able to control your TV with the same remote. Zapping times are super fast, approx 1.63 seconds!

Scanning satellites is working is working spot on, just as good as my other Enigma 2 receivers. I believe the tuner is blindscan capable but this is not currently enabled within the Uno drivers.

If I’m honest I just can’t fault anything about the VU+ Uno, although some critics will say that it’s priced a little high for a single tuner without actually looking at the specification of the receiver. Yes the Duo is only approx £40 more than the Uno, but it’s not got the spec that the Uno has! The main thing the Duo has over the Uno is that it’s a twin tuner. Personally I think VU+ has got the price spot on now that I’ve actually looked at the specs and actually used one.

I think the Uno will be extremely popular to enthusiasts that simply don’t want a twin tuner, yet want a top class Enigma 2 receiver with an excellent VFD (front display), the ability to install an internal SATA HDD and use plug & play tuners. At £299 in my opinion its worth every penny! Especially with the ViX images coming to the Uno very soon!
