    VU+2 Duo options

    Hi all
    Sorry if this has already been covered but I'm going to purchase a new Vu Duo2 from WOS and I was just wondering if anyone can explain what benefit the options will give me please? I guess a single and double tuner is self explanatory but what is an Hybrid DVB C/T? And what is a mini pass-through and Home plugs used for? Apologies for my naivety.

    Hybridbrid c/t is a combined cable and terrestrial tv - non HD.

    Homepplugs are used instead of network cables. Need two of them and they use the electric circuit to transmit and recd data.

    VU+2 Duo options

    DVB-T delivers the only HD channel we have in Ireland.

    Yes indeed... DVB-T is the standard in Australia and carries all the HD channels. But I take it from the above posts that in the mainland UK you need to have DVB-T2 to get HD? So it just depends where you are.

    The Vu Duo2 certainly is an impressive spec... I will ge very tempted.
    OpenVix:
    VU+Duo2 -- 2 x Twin internal DVB-S2 & DVB-C/T2, 2 x USB dual DVB-T (Avermedia Twinstar [AF9035], Hauppauge Nova-TD [Dib0700]) = 8 tuners
    VU+Duo4kse -- internal Sat FBC & twin DVB-C/T2, 2 x USB dual DVB-T Hauppauge Nova-TD [Dib0700]

    Thanks for the replies but the spec reads "S2" not T2.

    A further question. As well as the VU+ Duo, what would I have to buy to set up multiroom?

    To clear things up on the DVB-T front. In the UK Terrestrial uses DVB-T2 for Freeview HD. DVB-T in the UK is only Digital SD Freeview. In some other countries Terrestrial HD is available through DVB-T.

    Thanks boss you have made that clear, but the wording on the WOS shop specification is "THIS MODEL INCLUDES 1X DUAL/TWIN DVB-S/S2 TUNER MODULE". Do I take it that DVB-S2 is the same as DVB-T2?

    No, DVB-S/S2 are satellite, not terrestrial. That model has one twin satellite tuner DVB-S/S2 module installed, leaving one spare slot.

    You Need A Computer/Laptop Connected Via Ethernet, Homeplugs Or WiFi... And Optionally The Computer/Laptop Connected To A TV... Then You Just Type The IP Address Of The Vu+ Duo2 Into A Browser Address Bar... But I Must Warn You That The Connection Needs To Be Stable, And Thus WiFi Being Prone To Interference Doesn't Always Give Perfect Results... Most Certainly Not In HD... (Based On My Vu+ Duo) I Know The Duo2 Has Transcoding, But It Still Needs To Be A Stable Connection...

    I've Set Up A Gigabit Hard Wired Connection With A Switch, And I Get Prefect HD Streaming From The Box... I Would Assume You Could Do The Same With Homeplugs...
