Hi All,
Vu Duo Plus died with the red light of death, I changed the cap and the burnt out regulator but still no-go, I think I damaged a track on the PCB when I did the regulator so I need to find a local repair place at some stage to see if it can be saved.
Given the ~3yr life for £300+ receiver I am reluctant to spend more money with VU Plus, need a replacement before the mother in law comes to visit though!
Looking around the Xtrend seem pretty stable, and the Gigablue seems quite reasonable price, can't see any major complaints with either as a stable platform - any comments or alternate suggestions?
Must have CI slot for skylink card & CAM which I do not believe will work with card slot emulated.
Need two tuners minimum, any advice?
