hi

depends on what you want and your pc knowledge (and your budget ); believe DB or VU+ are the best choices if you have good pc knowledge ; if not you can go for only client cccam receiver ; also there are boxes with free gifts ; read some on the forum here and search on eg ****** ; here somewhere there is a thread like 'best receiver ever'.

Christmas must be coming again, LoL. The new Vu boxes look interesting although not sure how much knowledge you have of Linux, but it's the direction I am looking in.

You will find you will get quite a lot of answers to your question you best to give a price range. This will narrow the scope down and make it easier for you to choice.

move foward if i was you, dreamboxes/vu range more expensive but depends how much you want to spend and learn and experience in this hobby, the more you can learn the more you will gain.

Also depends on whether you want single or twin tuner, etc.
Personally, I'm waiting for the new vu+ range to be released as a twin tuner is essential for me.
I have a vu+ duo clone, and if I'd known how great these stb's were. I would've bought original!

Re: moving on to my next receivers

For single tuner, dm800se or vu+ uno are about as good as they get.
vu+ uno has the the advantage of being able to fit the twin tuner module when it's released later this year.
This would effectively turn it into a vu+ duo beater, also being much more aesthetically pleasing than the duo.
But at £240, it isn't cheap!

More info and discussion about clones isn't for this topic.
Clones can for example be discussed here :

Re: moving on to my next receivers

If you want to move on from what you got I would go for the dream boxes or VU+ would be more interesting and you would gain a lot of knowledge.

Vu+ duo is £280 at the moment. Probably likely to come down when the duo2 is released.
Other option is a vu+ uno which will be upgradeable to a twin tuner when the twin tuner module is released later this year. Better specs and looks than the duo.
Also the Technomate twin or the amiko alien 2.
But Vu+ or dream are much more highly recommended.

Re: moving on to my next receivers

vu+ duo is there still plenty of support for these boxes as this around my price limit

Re: moving on to my next receivers

vu+ duo has tons of support mate. I have one and have always found help when needed. Images also being constantly updated.
I don't see the support drying up anytime soon.
However, with the duo2 coming out the support is likely to go over to that when they get more popular. Can't see it happening for a few years though.
Personally, if you can hang on for a month or so, I'd look into the vu+ uno with the twin tuner module.
The uno is a better looking and better specced stb than the duo.
For about the same price you should be able to buy the duo and the twin tuner module, and have a slightly better machine.

I'v been using a vu+duo for about 2yrs.now,and I could not find fault with it.Plenty of support available for this receiver.
