Hi guys currently using skybox f3 but wanting greater functionality and ease of use for the other half. thinking Vu+ Duo or icecrypt 6000. box must be similar in use to sly+ ie 7 day epg easy to setup record function etc.

Thanks
 
Budget boxes don't have very good EGP's
then that has effect on PVR function.

Boxes around £150 or up have better EPG's and
are easier to set for recording etc. ( Blade or DM800 or the like)

Twin tuner boxes (VU+Duo etc) allow you to watch one program
and record another prices £300 ish
 
See there is a new Vuo box coming the solo2. This looks like it may do the job. How stable are the Vuo boxes.
