Blade Media boxes good 4 newbies?

The blade is a good box for a newbie with all the updates done via usb, it alsos has channel updates on line with some live streams.

The only downside is poor EPG.

For the extra £50.00 i would go for a vu solo with great EPG & picons, plus great support for images and channel lists.

If you are looking for a very cheap starter box, the openbox s10/s11 is a great little box, I have had the s9 , s10 and still have a s11 in the bedroom. Again this box is very easy to setup and update via usb.

If you are a fast learner and get the bug you will soon out grow the blade and the openbox. So the above depends on your budget and learning curve.

blade is a client only box if im not mistaken in other words if u wanted to share your own card you would not be able to with the blade .the vu is an excellent box with a lot more support .

no problem micky there loads of people on here who will help you and the vu has the best support .oh and dont forget to to ask the forum sponser for your £5 discount so only another £45 to save good luck pal

for the money the blade is a good box it has a few hidden menus 9991, 9992, and they very good 3641 which you enter when your in the online service lol
