On a limited budget £200 I have seen both Uno and Solo for approx £190 . Also uno twin tuner for a bit more £250 ( really fancy a solo 2 but £300 a little bit much) . Which of the cheaper options would you recommend or indeed any others around £200 to £250 . And what tech would i be losing with cheaper boxes .
I have a dm500s so is an upgrade to a solo or duo even worth it ??
Thanks
Is it higher spec than solo (faster etc)
Just seen a duo twin tuner for £239 is it worth extra as i dont really need to record one channel while watching another , but is there anything elso the duo twin would do that
If there advertised with sata hard drives , are they fitted internally where you can record too then playback as opposed to plugging in a hard drive via usb port ..??

Also remember your also better having a USB always plugged into the back of the receiver and use this for your egp to store onto when it updates everyday

Just be careful when buying 'to good to be true' offers as you could end up buying a clone box which you'll receive no support for and will be inferior to a genuine vu
Well if your not bothered about watching 1 channel when recording another then I would say the uno mate plus I'm sure the uno is newer than the duo as duo was released 2010 and uno in 2011
Check this link out for recommended retailers in your location... And don't be afraid to ask for discount . I know I got £5 straight of the price just by asking... A lot of companies will price match too happy shopping

If you mean transcoding no it doesn't... You'll need a WiFi dongle to hook it up to your network ... You can also use a Ethernet cable if your router is close to your setup. Also get a usb stick a 2 or 4 gig is more than ample for flashing latest BH image and if you want to save picons and EPG data on it.
External hard drives should work just as well as internal as the vu boxes have an esata connection for external drives bud . If you look at the vu website you can see the specs

also if your router is nowhere near your box for a wired connection then buy homeplugs, dont get a wifi dongle as you will have problems with pictures glitching/freezing etc
