    Having been looking around and keep seeing EDISION OPTI-COMBO DVB-T2/C USB sticks but they seem to have stopped manufacturing them, these were a good price at about 20 euro.
    Next i've found Sundtek MediaTV Digital Home DVB-C/T Tuners, but these are coming in around 50 euro.
    There are also a VU one, at around the same price, but ideally i'd like to spend less.

    Has anyone got experience with buying any of these?

    Thanks
    Paul

    You want the ones with the linux drivers.

    You do know that DVB-C is encrypted.

    I have a VU+ Turbo tuned in on my Solo2...with a powered arial . Solo 2 and Turbo/arial located in the attic and shared via Triax Trilink and a distribution amp around the house....works just great!

    Cheers, got the vu turbo for the solo2 box and have ordered a Geniatech T230c for the zgemma's. working great so far on the solo2
    Just hoping the t230 driver will work on the t230c model also. can't find much about them. the t230c tuners are only 20 euro on aliexpress

    Hi Pauly

    I've been putting a usb tuner on the long finger since the sat thing hit a wall a few weeks ago.

    Did you get everything working ok ? I'm also using a solo2.

    Thanks
