Are they worth the money?

Technomate are shocking for support

Disagree there, imo they've come good now. In the early days had some issues, but doing extremly well now. They've got no more issues than any other manufacturer has including VU+.

I think i might go for the Technomate TM-Nano-3T over the GiGaBlue, mainly for the fact I can mount a hdd inside rather than have a USB one, also the specs are slightly faster

You wont be disappointed, TM-Nano-3T and Nano-2 Super are great imo. Replaced my Solo2 with Nano-3T, actually feels faster and has extra hybrid tuner

Thanks Judge, Phoenix and Sicilian for clarifying regards Vu+, am really shocked at that regards the support attitude with them. I assumed, along with a lot of other folks, regarded them as the le creme of the creme in terms of satellite receivers and wouldn't have known the issues you are facing and your struggles with them in getting driver issues resolved etc. thank you all for sharing that with us, this is why this forum is the best and why ViX is the best image out by a country mile. ViX thrives on being the best and we are all proud of you guys for giving us a truly amazing image and may I wish it continues for many many more years. You ViX guys are amazing, thank you.

Problem is VU+ is they are living on their brand name right now, in terms of development and support they seem to be getting worse. Replies from their driver engineer are getting slower and slower. In all honesty brands like Miraclebox, Golden Interstar, Mutant, Technomate are actually responding faster to issues right now.

after reading this thread, im confused what to get, ive always had vu ie, solo, uno, duo and ultimo...decided to change as i want a sat tuner and cable tuner, tm nano 3t, or gigablue hd quad or plus......i see that they both use BCM7356 chip which is 1300Mhz...am i correct..? whats the difference between the top two gigablue boxes ie, quad and plus...??

 

[mann]

I had one of these receivers and found them to be very slow and sluggish..
Even running Vix..the Picture quality was as good as any vu box but I was frustrated by the sluggish way box would operate and updates for image and epg took forever,A well built box however and looks good..
I would without hesitation go for a vu solo2 or the tm nano oe t2 super which has same processor as solo2 so expect the same fast smooth operation...

 

[iain66]

I have a UE plus and find it very slow and sluggish compared to my vu

 

[brundlefly]

so gigablue dont sound very good , ive got a uno at the moment might just keep it and swap the tuner for a cable one lol..really wanted something thats similar or better then the the vU range of boxes, with a combo tuner, but not with a hefty price tag...i know thats asking a lot but wouldnt we all like that lol

Go for the Technomate TM-Nano-3T.

I have a GB Quad+ and since the latest driver release before Christmas, it's been solid as a rock and the annoying driver bugs were fixed.
I find it lightning fast, very responsive.

 

[mikehunt43]

I have say I also have a quad and has been good as gold for me

 

[den169]

I have a 3 year old vu+duo genuine box,Its had the red light problem which i managed to fix now the hdmi port has stopped working.For what these cost i would expect them to last a lot longer than this has,Its been in a spare room and has not had a lot of use.I have seen dozens of posts with the same problems,I wouldn't buy another in my opinion they are not worth what they ask,

Excellent Forum and Great thread.i am after a combo receiver and was looking at nano t3 or GB hd quad or miracle premium ultra.my aim is to use 2 tuners for cable and rest for sat.T3 nano has 2 sat and 1 cable which not sure if they are changeable and plug and play.
GB looks good with option for 2 plus 2 extra p&p tuners.reviews not that friendly.And miracle looks good with changeable triple tuners BUT not many reviews.
would love to hear more opinions about these receivers before buying one form WOS shop.will run vix image as the good people of WOS flash it for u.

Current TM supported boxes won't suit your needs if you need 2 DVB-C tuners.
Have a look at the Mutant boxes, don't have one myself but gets good reviews.
