[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 738730, member: 301161"] I didn't record much either even though I had a hard drive recorder but with the Duo it is so easy. Say you are going through the EPG for next Monday and you see a program you fancy you just highlight it and press the ok button a couple of times. It saves staying up into the small hours to watch "The Sky At Night". Well it would if it were still on. The Duo lets you timeshift too, but then again so does the Solo. It will work out of the box with the stock image but I would change that from scratch. Hard wired network would be better but if you are not going to stream HD channels wireless will do. You would just need a wireless Ethernet bridge. No blind search at all (software or hardware). The box has a file loaded (which you can easily edit) with all known transponders. There are lots of places where you can download an up to date one. Or if there is something in particular you want to search you just add the details manually using the remote. What I was really getting at though is this is not a box for feed hunting. Once you find feeds using a blindscan receiver you can use this box to view them, or stream them to a computer if they are 4:2:2 so you can watch them with VLC. [/QUOTE]
