Would you buy a clone VU

[skelfbsfb]

Im looking to upgrade from my cloud ibox 2plus to a vu solo 2 problem is I cannot afford a genuine but have been looking at a clone. Just looking for advice before I part with my money.

The clone going to set you back about 2 hundred notes and can have overheating and sometimes bad solder joints to the main board. Have a look at the Miraclebox Premium Twin HD 2 yr guarantee on these boxes. running linux software.

if you on a budget w o s do a VU+ Solo Single Tuner DVB-S2 HD Enigma2 Linux Satellite Receiver £155

one of the reasons people buy a twin tuner is record features,yes solo2 original or the cheaper duo slower but does the job,the amount of people putting original images on clone boxes makes me laugh look at the thousands of boxes went down months ago re driver issue and leaving them with a headache,single tuner box max digital 1000hd had higher spec than the solo now added octagon sf8 newer model.quality is not cheap but works.

I bought an X-Duo. I didn't know at the time of buying it was a clone of the Vu-Duo.

I've had no problems at all with it.

Just be careful when adding new firmware to these boxes.

I wouldn't have a clue how to be honest so am just leaving it as is.

It's going on eBay anyway soon since I miss HD. And can't actually get to grips with the auto timer and am a bit sick of missing stuff due to it not recording. Yes I know it's because I've set it up wrong but for some reason I just can't get it to work properly.

I understand what you mean matey. Not the easiest box to setup am afraid. Once sorted they do work ok.
