its absolutely brilliant, 1000% better than the blade, EPG is better, it has PVR (i upgraded to 1TB hard drive), dual tuner, updating channels is way easier, everything can be updating directing from the computer using a program
and it runs Enigma2, the same OS or whatever thats in dreamboxes and that so theres a few plugins and sh*t that work with it, i can stream a different channel on my android phone or tablet or iphone
before i bought the Duo and had the blade i was gonna get a diff blade box for my bedroom, but now with the streaming capabilities i dont need to, all i need is a small PC (thinking of Zotac Zbox ID80) then install xbmc (maybe XBMCbuntu) intall a plugin and stream directly onto that, also means i can stream films in my room from the windows home server system im currently building. so theres no need to pay for a second cline, plus i can still watch one channel in the living room and another in the bedroom

so yeah, i freakin love it
but still thinking of the Vu+ Ultimo cause of the 3 tuners and VFD when i upgrade to a motorised dish lol
with the HDD it cost me roughly £430 a year ago, prices have dropped though
they can even ship it with whatever firmware you want, as the manufacturers ship it ready for FTA, otherwise obv theyd get sued or whatever for selling stuff to steal TV. flashing it yourself doesnt take much and you can do it from a computer, but still, one less thing, and its free, and they also run a forum and make the VIX firmware which i use, so theres alot of support

Ask nem or Shady to invite you to the site they sub from
I aint subbed since prem was done so my account is disabled
Yea the box needs to be connected via ethernet
If your router is to far away get home plugs
