I have a standard Duo had it for about 2.5 to 3 years. It has a 1TB internal HD and works well. Apart from the odd crash/reboot needed about once/twice aweek its OK (really when I update CrossEPG). I can work it ok, its running the latest BH 2.1.6.1. I have a USB memory stick mounted in the back setup as a swap file 256mb
I dont run anything off it (streaming etc) Its connected to a Motor arm 1m dish on input A and a standard Sky fixed dish on input B. I have most things disabled like Weather etc to save memory and to boot up quicker.
I have been looking at the new Duo2. What main difference would I gain if I got this new machine. I know it has a better/quicker CPU so load up etc and performance will be better/quicker. Can/Could I put another dish/quad LNB/output making 4 sat inputs not 2 as on a standard Duo. I see you can add another tuner so could I make it 5 or 6 inputs in total. Also how many motor arms could it drive just the one as now or will it control more. How many CH`s will it record in total. If you have moved from a standard Duo to a Duo2 what do you like about it better. Also is the extra money buying a new Duo2 worth it for me. The extra recording inputs woud come in handy but to be honest I have another basic sat box upstairs (DM500) working of 1 input on Sky dish working Ok, so that help if needed to watch a Ch if recording on 2 inputs on Duo.
I need to prove to myself the extra money is worth it to upgade
Thanks
