Putting it like that your probably right ! I`ll have another think on that and have a look at what back ups are available one with an auto update bouquet would be great.

Ok I think I`m going to get them a duo probably a clone from Ebay just because of price , this one most likely VU + DUO + VIX Image + *** UK Channel List. | eBay . Can anyone confirm that it will record to an external hdd as they have a spare floating about ? But eventually I will prob put the one out of their Sly HD in it once they are used to it.

EDIT sorry just read above it will record to external :ops:

Thats great I think i`ve learnt more here in an hour than I have in a year elsewhere !! Can they record to an external hdd with one of these ? or would it depend on the backup file I use ? and I suppose if I get a duo and two lines they could record one channel and watch another ?

Cool so if I am getting this !! I firstly buy this Vu+ SOLO Single Tuner HD PVR 1 x DVB-S/S2 Satellite Receiver ₤179 FREE UK as is then I download something like this http://linuxsat-support.com/vu…ady-backup-ten-below.html then copy to usb, stick usb in off box and switch on then once loaded we are fully good to go ?

I`m now thinking of getting them a VU and if I set it up all ok getting myself one and moving my DM to my back room as I was already considering getting myself a 2nd box. I have just downloaded the sat-shop VU easy load software tool, so if I get a box I just use that to install a backup to a new box ? and away we go ?

Why would you do that ? I quite like my little DM but will consider the VU for my parents, I really need something simple to setup for them to use and for me to set up. All it needs is a sly bouquet and a way to record/pause to an external harddrive. Do all boxes need to be relashed from the box ? I had a quick look at the VU and it can be preflashed with a 3rd party firmware for an extra tenner so does that mean i would not need to do anything else to the box ? if thats the case which one is the best to choose for my purpose ?

I am looking at setting my parents up with a new system now their sly contract has ended and need a little advice of what system to get them,

I have a dm800hd myself but it was all flashed and ready to go when I got it including a harddrive installed so all I needed to do was install my line and all I`ve had to do over the last 9 months is update my sgtflipflop channels every now and then.

I would like something that is easy setup and I just add their line to and maybe a channel list ?

I am thinking a Technomate TM-800 HD PVR Linux Enigma2 Receiver but I am open to suggestions

Does anyone know what I would need to do to this out of the box to get them up and running ? As its enigma2 can I just put a sgtflipflop bouquet on it using something like dream box edit for the techo system and then would it already have a cccam installed on it for my line ? 7

Also i did read somewhere about an auto update bouquet so once I`ve set them up I don`t have to worries about it too much ?

Any advice would be gratefully recieved as i would like to get this setup as soon as poss and I am getting confused reading everything !!
