That was a swift turnaround from 'no budget in mind and thinking of buying a vu+' 🤣

Vu are overpriced

 

[sammer]

why are they overpriced?

 

[cactikid]

Cheaper non Vu are just as good , maybe even better.
Vu Solo = old and slow
Vu Solo 2 = still in use and supported with Openvix
Vu Duo =RIP
Vu Zero

Only 4K box i have i won off Techkings and was upgraded to a Zgemma H7S as tv is now 4K

There is this old box going around from SONY.

Another thing to consider where in the world you live your sat dish needs to point to that sat to get those channels from the sat footprint of its beam,

Not in that beam may mean your not getting those channels and have to use another sat.

I already have dish, pointed on astra 19e.
I would just replace my vu old box to get 4k box.

should i just buy this from aliexpress?

Buy it from the cheapest source, although you have any issue with a faulty one and Aliexpress is not a good option.

How about VU+ Duo 4K SE. Will dazn and s.kyde uhd works on it?

 

[Willo3092]

If you want a top end box with internal hdd capability without spending Vu+ money:

AX HD61 4K UHD or Gigablue UHD UE

[cactikid]

Any of the ones named in previous posts that say 4K

It's not down to the box, it's down to the line(s) that you are using.
Any 4K box will open UHD channels but only if they are available in the line

What is best option other than vu+ for recording?
Is there any chance to buy an good enigma2 uhd box other than vu+ with satellite tuner and hard drive to be able to record?

 

[cactikid]

To record you need a twin sat tuner box saying 4K twin
