  • I've been reading up on and learning as much as i can on the VU boxes. One thing i am still not sure about is which one i need.


    I currently have a Humax HDR with twin input to view and record Freesat. Is there a VU+ model that will let me watch Freesat and Sly sat. Would i be able to switch between the two, this would be ideal.?


    So i want a box to replace my Humax Freesat but with the option of watching sly if i wanted to, is this possible?


    Thanks for any help, much appreciated.

  • All the VU models will allow you to watch freesat & sly........


    Really depends on what your budget is. A really good buy is the Vu solo2, this is a twin tuner box that you can install an internal 2.5 HDD in so you can record. If you can't stretch to that then the Vu Duo is also a good buy, a bit of an oldie now in terms of spec & speed but a rock solid receiver all the same with loads of support.


    I have attached a screenshot from the ViX image, here you can see that you can have settings for sly uk & freesat..

  • Thanks for the info McKee.


    What benefit would the Duo2 have over the solo for my needs? As i said, purely needed for Freesat and Sly only with my twin lnb input.


    Budget isn't an issue, however i don't want to spend more than i need to either.


    Thanks again very helpful.
