Advice on what cable box to buy

[Sicilian]

So it has an internal splitter?

Sorry for being so annoying, I want to make sure I'm going about this the right way

Yes splits into two tuners internally.

Cool

If I were looking at another box, how would I know if it had an internal splitter?

Looks at the specifications.....

Yeah but I can't find anywhere where it says the Solo SE v2 has an internal splitter

The tuner is dual/twin..... http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...n-tuner-module

The dual tuner provides the function of 2 individual DVB-C / T / T2 Single tuners without an additional loopthrough cable. The voltage applied to the RF IN signal is internally passed along to the two built-in tuners.

Get the OCTAGON SF4008 4K UHD 2160p Linux Enigma 2 Receiver 2x Hybrid DVB-C/T/T2 Tuners its a top box with a option to add a 3rd tuner if required

Wow guys thanks so much for all your help I really do appreciate it.

I'm so used to the speed of the Solo2, I don't want to get a box that will be slower and thus deemed a downgrade.

I'm currently looking at the following

1) http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...os-mega-osmega (Is this only a single dvb-c or would it have an internal splitter?)

2) http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...-2x-dvb-c-t-t2 (Looks like a great box)

3) http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...tm-twin-4k-s2c (Looks like an unreal box - some spec)

4) http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...-2x-DVB-C-T-T2 (No Internal HDD and no front display)

Which one should I go for guys

When talking about cabletuner boxes, I just want to emphasise that with latest FBC-tuners you don`t need dual-tuners. One FBC-cabletuner with boxes like VU+Uno 4K or VU+Ultimo 4K you will have 8 tuners. So you can forget those twintuner cableboxes and go to the latest technology instead.

theres only the solo and edison in stock with wos at the moment i would still order the OCTAGON SF4008 4K UHD its a cracking box with great support lots of image builders and a great remote plus you can change the remote to another brand like the Vu+ if you like there remotes

So who cares what wos has in stock at the moment? Octacon SF4008 does not have FBC tuner for cable. VU+ has.

My friend bassenthound. Not all the people who are asking help from this site are aware what they really need.
So don`t selll them dualtner boxes if you know that there are better solutions for them like FBC tuner boxes.
I just do not see any real good reason to have dualtuner box for cablenetwork instead of the box with FBC-cabletuner.

I agree with you on most of this, I have FBC tuner in my Ultimo 4K, what peeps need to be aware of with FBC running 8 tuners requires 8 ECM requests every 9 seconds, your VM card will start to struggle with that and if you have other boxes on your lan requesting ECM from the card you are asking for trouble.

I do not agree. I have three clientboxes asking ECM requests every 10 secons with camd 35 protocol. No problems so far. Just see how you have connection in oscam.conf file for oscam-oscam. I have this:
[cs357x]
port = 27550
In clientbox oscam.server these:
[reader]
label = mycamd357xreader
description = cam35reader
protocol = camd35
device = serverboxip,27550
user = clientbox username
password = xxxxx
fallback = 1
group = 1,2
