Hi and thank you for an excellent, well informed and friendly forum.
I'm about to end my somewhat overpriced Sly subscription and intend to get a VU+ box to continue with my satellite TV viewing. I've done a good deal of research on this site and also on WOS regarding VU+ boxes but have been swamped with 'tech-speak' that is pretty much meaningless to me at this stage;
For example: VU+ Duo 2 (1x DVB-S2 Single + 1x DVB-C/T/T2 Tuner) or VU+ Duo 2 (1x DVB-S2 Twin + 1x DVB-C/T/T2 Tuner)... The bits in the brackets have me lost. I spoke to a 'salesman' at WOS who seemed completely unable to convert my basic requirements into a model spec - thus the sale was lost and I was none the wiser. My hope is that you'll be able to translate what I need into a specific model... so here goes.
1, I like the VU+ reviews and although expensive they seem like good units. I would certainly consider an alternative but VU+ seems to make sense to me so far.
2, I have a Sly dish.
3, I have 100MB Broadband.
4, I need a box that will enable me to watch one satellite channel whilst recording another (internal or external HDD is fine either way).
5, Plenty of support or tutorials for set-up as this is completely new to me.
I'd be really appreciative if you could advise me of what model VU+ (or alternative) would suit my needs. If you could also let me know in 'WOS speak' what needs to go in the brackets I'll be able to put my order in.
Thank you in advance.
