Vu+ Duo or Ultimo ?

[hal8000]

I'm lookin for a new HD receiver.
Currently have a DM7020 single tuner not HD.

The Vu+ Duo with with DVB-S2 tuner looks very attractive and much cheaper than an equivalent Dreambox model.

Apart from larger LCD display and triple tuner is there any other advantage in going for a VU+ Ultimo?

Can anyone tell me which linux kernel is in the black hole image?
My old HD7020 runs Darkstar2 image on a kernel 2.6.9

Kernel information can be found be telnetting (or SSH) into your VU+ and typing command:

uname -a

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Thanks for a great suggestion!

Wonder if there will be provision to add a recordable CD/DVD drive,
if not, still looks a perfect receiver!
