Hi Stupid question but which is the best VU+ box there are a few knocking around I think the Duo2 is the best one?

I'm not trying to be smart but it really depends on what your requirements are, each have their own benefits (and costs), there's a handy chart for the features for each here http://vuplus.com/sub/sub0113.php

Personally, I have the Solo2 and Ultimo, I always use the Solo2 and I find it a great box, I'd say it's better than the Ultimo but it only has 2 tuners and takes 2.5" drives so that might be a deal breaker for you.

Cheers, the 2.5" HDD wouldnt be a problem.
I want to use it as my main tv box and also have kodi running on it so I can get shot of my HTPC too noisy now doing my head-in, getting cranky as i get older
I was thinking of the Duo2 because it has 4 tuners, the Solo2 has 2. 4 tuners just allows multiple recordings that is the benefit isnt it?

The Duo2 will do everything thats you need hav,nt tryed nas so can,t comment but theres plenty of Duo2 owners on boards that have posted some great info and howto setup Guides .

Kodi yea you,d be ok with Duo2 have a look at some of Robijay images on linuxsat some fantastic work done by him .

Or you can build your own if you get the said box just post and we will help you get setup if needed [with boards rules as don,t want to push our luck on the kodi side of things as mods have been more than fair so far .

And theres a live tv addon for kodi where you can watch your free to air channels and saorview channels within kodi [like wetek] tryed this when the blackhole release this before xmas as it was only beta version going to have another look over the weekend /

On 15.2 & 16 see how things run now as with all the major upgrades image teams have been doing over the last couple of weeks .

Thanks for info clareman always willing to learn .

Still have me Solo2 was going to sell to offset the cost of 4k but just can,t part with it glad i did,nt now with all the new images addons and more to come still in beta [testing ]mode can say much but things are only going to get better for the satellite community .

Just to say what i mean about testing is nothing to do with dodgy tv or anything to do with use of illegal use of a payed tv service can,t and won,t help on anything like that as i don,t use .

I,am talk about software for vu+ boxes getting better .

You can download an openvix image with kodi already setup on it all you have to do is install your addons?? Im nearly sure I seen one with version 16 also. If you need a link ill pm you.

Hi Jayo26

if you can PM me the link for the install, I searched google but didn't find anything only for the VU+ Duo2 not for the SOlo2.

Thanks
