    Total noob with some questions on images and tuners

    Hi people
    Im going to buy a vu+ solo2 this week. I only really want it for sly channels and recording.

    Twin tuners, whats the benefits if i have a stationary sly dish?

    What image do you recommend for the solo2.

    I would like the skin to mimic sly as much as possible and it must be able to run kodi.

    This is my first box so id be greatful for any help.
    Regards Lee

    you will get a good deal from lee @goldwafers

    the twin tuners let you watch 1 channel and record 1 as well

    you will need a hdd fitted as well for the record facility

    as for sly only sd is possible with the right info or connection but not allowed to be discussed on here

    sly plus boxes are twin tuners with an internal hdd , so you mimic it with something like a solo2 with an internal 500gb to 1tb internal hdd or similar

    record 2 channels like sly plus

    record 1 channel and watch another channel like sly plus

    a sly plus box has twin feeds from a fixed dish pointed at 28 east
    so your fixed dish needs a quad lnb and twin cables, known as a "shotgun" cable, one cable per tuner
