    You beat me to it cactikid, and (no correction here) but vuo duo is a satellite double tuner box. The vu duo2 allows interchangeable tuners. The vu duo is satellite only

    that question was, are these any good and worth while buying?

    And only someone that has one, can answer that question. Would you accept an opinion from someone who has not got one ?

    I'm like a broken record but a dreambox dm800c I have used in the past and its a great box. Coupled with that is tsmedia and then there is not a better media box

    Lads just wondering can anyone point me towards a reliable subscription service for streaming SS online. I'm tired of using free services with ads and poor quality, don't mind paying for quality and reliability. Season just kicked off today so gagging to get hooked up with something ASAP!

    on gotham 13.2 now, working fine, I did find 13.1 wasnt good, box kept reverting to its basic setting and addons wouldnt update properly, so, its been working fine so far, just wondering when they changed from XBMC to Kudi will the box work properly, as the firmware is set up with a direct link to XBMC in the menu, hopefully it will

    correct me if i am wrong here, but how can you load a cam of a sat box onto a Android box? petrol into a diesal car springs to mind, you will get streams on the box via XBMC if you load the correct addons as mentioned above
