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?

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 .

I have been trying a new image every night to see what they have to offer but I always end up back at hyperion 5.1 I just can't fault it apart from not having a decent version of kodi it never ever crashes on me and media player is fast and built in auto timer seems to work best out of all images.
