View Full Version : Questions on HD800SE
All,
Looking for a second box and leaning towards a gigablue HD800
A few questions though.
1 - Whats the difference between the SE and the UE models.
2 - Can the extra DVB-S tuners available for the Quad work in the HD800 SE or UE to make it a dual tuner.
3 - Is the recording capability with 2 tuners and 3-4 recordings an issue with the USB external HDD.
4 - Is timeshifting OK on USB Ext HDD..

1/ No diffrence,, Just the SE has a digital display for the channel No.. The UE has an lcd which will display picons or programe and channel info..
2/ No.. It will not.. Or not as far as i am aware anyway..
3/ Again.. As far as i am aware.. The only 2nd tuner you can have is a usb tuner..
4/ Timeshift working fine.. Or at least was the last time i had one.. I used a 250GB usb stick..
Thanks Mr. Mister.
Just noticed one thing about the spec of the box.
Its only 333Mhz (same as original Solo that I have).
I find my solo really slow and not powerful enough for a box for everyday use..
Will the HD 800SE or UE be the same ?
Should I be looking at a better box.
My DUO does everything to an acceptable level so I fear the 800SE might be underpowered.
Any thoughts...

If its just a wee box that you want in a 2nd room.. I would say that the 800 SE or UE is perfect..
Yes.. Its not the quickest box on themarket.. But one thing is forsure.. Its totally rock solid..
I'd spend the extra £10 and buy the venton HD1+
It's a better spec and can be made a twin tuner at a later date if required.
