Comparision et-9000 versus Vu+Duo

[Vic]

Okay both boxes are easy to flash via USB stick.
Loaded VIX image for et-9000 and Pli1 on Vu+Duo both boxes have a 1 terabyte HDD fitted.
1. Both boxes boot in approx the same amount of time.
2. Both are made in Korea and build quality is about the same which is very good.
3. As the et-9000 does not come with a fan it runs very hot after market fans are available I am still waiting for mine.
4. Picture quality is about the same.
5. the et-9000 supports true PIP for SD channels and I frames for HD channels the Vu+Duo only supports I frames in PIP both for SD and HD channels.
6. The drivers for the internal slots need a lot of work on the et-9000 with ECM times exceeding 1 second at times (average time is approx 500 msecs) using oscam as compared to sub 300 msecs with the Vu+Duo.
7. The et-9000 has the nice option of loop out on the LNB's.
8. The et-9000 has a newer processor then the Vu+Duo but to me the performance difference between the 2 is negible.

I lost interest temporarily when I read on the VIX board.

The backup battery in the receiver should never be taken out. The receiver will lose its memory and the receiver must be reprogrammed by the chip manufacturer. It takes up to 4 weeks and be paid for!!!!!!!!!!!!

you have been Warned

anyway, i'm pretty sure i'm 100% satisfied with vix 2.0 on the vu right now.

Clark etech are promising a fix mean while you have approx 5 years on the battery

IMHO there is little difference between the 2
I have noticed the tuner on the et-9000 is a lot more sensitive then any other box I have had

i'm not sure if its still a factor with the newer drivers but the ET9000 did have a real problem with channels whose SNR's were 30,000

You mean symbol rate. Yes it is more important these days for receivers to work with the higher symbol rates. Hopefully they address this.

lol yes i meant symbol rate. i was off out with the rifle and didn't take the time to read through my reply. the affected channels with this symbol rate are some of the HD and the 3D channels, the receiver has real problems tuning into channels with this symbol rate, or at least it did ( not sure if it still does )

30000 symbol rate is fine here also just checked the picture quality is slightly better on SD channels on the ET9000

Internal card readers have been fixed with the latest drivers getting better ECM times now then on the Vu+Duo

[cro69]

is it still running hot Vic theres no chance of card melting in it is there??

Runs hot no chance of melting the card it just gets warm

[cro69]

is there a fix for that yet??? or they still working on one??lol
