The Vu + Zero may be all my 800 HD could, even more, because Dream Multimedia indeed brings no real innovations more. For me the importance of real-time DTS downmix, long time was only available for devices Dream. Then, of course, the media center, which quite as beats everything with its many libraries, you should have seen in any case times, there is access to all the libraries of the stations, of course, even more content in the form of gray area and XXX.
The reason to buy for most people is probably the function of Softcam be, here too you move so much on the edge of legality. Here, Vu + a really strong plug-in for people which OScam is too complex, called OSCamButler, is a real relief for the integration of smart cards. CCcam also funzt, the box has a MIPS processor.
The Enigma Media Player should really know each, ideal for reproductions from the network. He can access shares whether CIFS or SMB. But here you should know about a bit to networks, at least.
From the Hardware everything fits, I use the VTI Image. This comes in handy, I find the IR eye. So you can hide the receiver well and place only the IR eye in the range of the TV or projector. Who has an uncluttered multimedia wall, and will only be placed TV visible, here a great way has all to realize clean. The only thing I do not like at the VU + devices to 100%, the key layout of the remote control, the remote control is quite large and the Teletext button also sits very unfavorable, which also applies to the menu button.
A feature I almost forgot to mention, Tuner Sharing. If you have more Vu + devices in the house, so you can allowed to use the tuner, the Zero has only one. The prerequisite is the connection on the network and a plug on both boxes. If you have more VU + sister devices can also back bouquets, saves a lot of work.

Conclusion:
In the price category, there is nothing comparable, although there are a lot of manufacturers that also offer Enigma devices with MIPS processors, these have unfortunately often no comparable support. Since it is mostly dependent on openaTV. Vu + has a large community, as you would not know from Dbox2 and Dreambox times.
