ive decided im going to replace my old technomate 9100 super with a VU+ box but i cant decide on which one. im not interested in having a dual tuner or HDD really but is it worth paying a bit extra for the uno as its faster? would there actually be much difference? only other thing i was worried about was the support with the solo box as its an old model now. ive seen brand new solo boxes for £130 and brand new uno for £172, or a second hand one for around £100. so which one should i go for?
vu+solo or vu+ uno?

Premium Mini HD has a built-in satellite tuner (DVB-S2) to receive both SD and HD channels. You have one extra tuner slot if you want to insert an extra S2 tuner be able to record one channel while watching another. To record and use the timeshift functions you can either connect an external hard drive or a network drive.
