Before VU + Duo, I had a few years a Topfield 5500 PVR with some installed TAP's and I was also very pleased with this unit. But since we now have a new Panasonic plasma TV in use, had to get a HD Twin Receiver. Because of the favorable price yoy. other receivers much choice first on a Humax HD iCord I took about 2 months. This disappointed me, but because of some lack of features such. As an interface function. Clasp me here the recession "VU + contra Humax HD iCord" full on.
By chance, I then came across the VU + Duo. Due to the more favorable price, I decided then that VU + a Topfield or a Dreambox preferable.
The operation is very simple and can be prepared by various plugin's (at Topfield were Tap's) be extended. Of this, I use z. B. the average function (Cutlisteditor with Media Cut), an extended EPG and a detailed media list. With this you can create various subfolders and his shots accordingly categorize, such as children, movies, thrillers etc .. In addition, you can mark several recordings and then automatically leave consecutively play.
The VU + is connected to a Vodafone 802 Easybox with us via LAN cable and is thereby connected to the Internet. Software and driver updates from VTI image, plugin's, skin's EPG, etc. You can then easily download via the VU + menu and install. The access from the notebook also takes place without any problems.
As an additive we use a Sky-simcard that can be plugged directly into the receiver (no CI module). The operation works flawlessly here.
If you have problems, helping a the Forum continues (Just google). There are also many instructions.
The image, in both SD and HD in the area is great.
Conclusion: I love the VU + DUO much fun. I give a strong buy recommendation.
