Upgrading to a vu+ (Ultimo)?

[ekkostar]

I have to admit it sounds tempting to go for a duo and trick it out with a 1TB internal HDD... for less money then the Ultimo... decisions, decisions

I will make up my mind today, that's for sure!

For the same price you'll get a Duo, a HDD and quite probably a second dish fitted. If you can install a dish yourself (28.2E is not difficult) then you'll save even more.

A fortnight ago that was considered a premium set up. Not a lot has changed since then and won't for the considerable future. Ultimo or no Ultimo.

You're DM800 is still a perfectly capable machine

I have both the Ultimo and the Duo. However, I honestly could not say one is better than the other. Specs on paper are one thing and in real use it's yet another. Horses for courses as they say.

I would say rock solid top end twin dish twin tuner system is the Duo. It's not the cheapest by any stretch but it's by far the best bang for your buck you'll get if you're serious about satellite.

I love the Ultimo but in all honesty it's an indulgence for all but the hardcore enthusiast.
