As said, there is an A/V out, via 3.5mm jack and there is a cable supplied, there is also an RS232 port, but it uses the same connector as the IR blaster uses (IR blaster also included in the box).
Why is the lack of VFD such a big deal ? How many really look at the vfd on there box, when they can just press a button on the remote and see what channel there on, much clearer and easier ?
Lack of a CI slot, isn't that big a deal either imo, the Zero is aimed at those looking for a 2nd (or 3rd / 4th) box, for the kids room, the bedroom or a spare room, I don't think there intending for it to be the main living room box (although if you don't need a CI slot, and multi tuners, or a hdd, then it will do the job as a main box just fine).
As for the plastic case, again where is the issue ? it's not like it's the thinnest and nastiest plastic they could get there hands on, it's actully nice thick, sturdy and good quality.
I stand correct on those points
Why is not? Surely the VU+ Zero should be cheaper with such hardware reduction....
again another big hardware reduction....
yet again, another hardware reduction, plastic case is cheaper to produce than metal case...
Don't get be wrong, I'm not coating VU+ off, but I just cannot see how the price tag is justified, imo all it has going for it is the CPU. There's a lot more choice out there nowadays apart from VU+. Anyway just my opinion....people will buy what they wish...

The Zero is so small, that even if there was a vfd on it, you would have to be right infront of it, to see it imo.
again I guess it depends on what your purpose is for the box, why include something that most (the targetted users) wouldn't need, and force the box to be bigger than it needbe.
It is also lighter, and stronger than metal (it won't dent if the kids knock it off the side).
Yes I get what you are saying, it doesn't matter to me either, who buy's what, I am only offering my opinion.

Whether or not you 'need' the missing hardware is one thing (and if that's the case you won't buy the box), but it makes it a cheap box. And that's not being reflected in the retail price.

The specs I have seen also state it can watch the recorded content from your Duo2 or Solo2 over the home network connection making it ideal for a second box (hopefully it will work with the original Duo too).
Good news. Looks like I might treat myself for christmas if VIX are going to do an image for it
Any confirmation that there will be a vix image for the zero? It's a deal breaker as far as I'm concerned.
