Noticed this available at dcrecivers: hxxp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ddigital-DUO-Starview-6-Kryptview-A780-/280557662775?pt=UK_ConEle_SatCableFreeview_RL&hash =item41528a3237

Don't see any mention of it here. Anyone got any info?

They have been around a while. The DUO does not mean twin tuner, the box plugs into the scart socket on the TV, then there is a "magic eye" type device to receive the RCU commands.

They wholesale about the same price as the Starview6 but they seem possible to drop out of a scart socket, so I decided not to stock them. I don't know how sensitive the tuner is on these or much else about them.

Prob because they run of the same server as the Starview Combo, and the starview6 and the new starview 7 when it arrives, that will also be on the same server, so you will have 4 boxes on the one server, wonder how that is going to work out

Starview6
starview7
starview combo
ddigital duo

all on one server from starview

Am sure this box is made from the same people and yes I am sure they run off the same server as well.

It shouldn't matter how many different types of boxes, just the total number of connections. Satellite servers run fine with 5-10 different types of boxes connected simultaneously.

Well lincsat to be honest at the present time they are having server issues, all im saying is adding another box could be a major problem, that is all
