Hi guys,
I'm currently using a Vu+ Zero receiver which I can't fault, though as its a very basic model has limitations. The one major thing that its missing is blindscan (which I never realised how much I'd miss when I bought it).
The Vu+ Zero does allow me to stream 4:2:2 feeds and normal broadcast channels over the network via Openwebif which is a fantastic feature that I use on a regular basis. Annoyingly though, anything thats 30Mbps and over can't cope over my network (even over LAN) and I suffer with dropouts. This is to do with my router only supporting up to 100Mbps ethernet. (Sky do not allow third party routers so im stuck with this for now).
I'm looking at upgrading the receiver and currently trying to find options. The things I'd like it to have are:
1) Blindscan function
2) Ability to stream channels over the network
3) Support of 16APSK feeds (?) - not a requirement but would be nice
3) Sensitive tuner
Wanting to spend up to £150 although can stretch my budget depending on features
