  • Hello all, I'm in need of a receiver. As I have just told $k¥ where to go.


    I'd like a Linux receiver that I will be able to mess around with and try my hand at using cams.


    For me, I'd like to be able to - do something like the 'youview' feature,
    browse the web on occasion
    Use as a pvr with good epg
    Must be at a minimum a twin tuner


    The box must be easy to use once set-up, for the kids and her indoors.


    I've looked at gigablue 800 hd ue, vu+ solo2, and some icecrypt boxes. I don't mind spending 300 odd quid on a box, but what else do I need to program a gold card or something? Also, can I just use my existing hd dish?


    So, what would you recommend???


    Thanks!!!

  • I think I've narrowed it down to the gigablue quad or the vu+solo2.


    Can these boxes do the -7 day epg (on demand?) thing that the humax fires at boxes can?


    Thanks

    the solo2 can get 7 day epg ,
    can use an infinite amount of thrid party plugins,apart from image feeds, more than you will have time to play with...
    vix seems to be a popular image for her indoors... although this is always a personal choice,,
