Is it worth buying a D8000 now with the V+ Duo available ?

I was considering upgrading to a D8000 but not sure if Dream will be releasing a newer model anytime soon.

Do you need 4 tuners.

I would like HD dual tuner capability on a single box.

The thing is that D8000 has been out for about 18months at this stage and I am a bit concerned should I buy one a newer model could be on the horizon.

If you want 2 tuners get a VU+ Duo. No point paying for an 8000 if you don't want 4 tuners.

How cheap have you seen them for in Spain ?

That's not a bad price. After deducting the VAT that's only 338€. At that price I might buy one "for stock". :) What's the name of the shop?
