[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 738747, member: 301161"] I would completely avoid a USB solution. It takes drivers, RAM, and processing power and wastes a valuable USB socket. Ethernet is better, more reliable and a hardware solution. Vantage versus Vu+, tuner is better in the Vu+, testing with Astra 2D and and 2A/B north beams. North beams is especially a problem for the Vantage where you are trying to receive a tiny peak with a Mt. Everest on either side. I guess my situation with recording is different from yours. My missus records a lot, especially at night when I want to fiddle around with my stuff. Recording on a Duo means my box isn't completely tied up. In fact you wouldn't even know it had started a recording except it pop a message up. I'm using the VIX image. The EPG is really nice and it doesn't seem to crash all the time like a lot of other images. I wouldn't conside using the Vu+ for accessing websites like Youtube. I've got my laptop for that.
