Replacement for Xtrend ET10000

[George Kildare]

Very many thanks for the info twol and cactikid. Does the newer high-priced VUPlus have any advantage over the ET10000?

After thinking some more, I'm now thinking of just keeping my Xtrend ET10000. It is still working well and may well outlast me!

Vu+Uno4kse only has one tuner slot, so you have to choose between satellite or terrestrial.

Vu+Duo4kse has 2 slots so you have a possible combination of 8x DVB-S2X and 2x DVB-T2. Allows for watching and recording multiple channel simultaneously, and multistream channels.

Both of the above have a pull out HDD caddy which allows installing an internal 2.5' HDD without dismantling the unit.

Internal hard drive is obviously preferable, just think how awkward a laptop would be if the disk was external.

Regarding the SF8008 I would much rather have the OS Mio4k+. Has 2x DVB-S2X tuners and also terrestrial capable, and also superior blindscan (SF8008 can't blindscan multistream transponders and return the PLS codes). Also the Mio has a much more aesthetic enclosure.
