![]() ![]() The Alien 2 in my opinion is quite glitchy but saying that it can be made to work as long as your not expecting too much from it. The 2+ if i'm not mistake is the one with the combined DVB-T2 and DVB-C tuner and two satellite tuners. Hands down the Xtrend is a better box than the Alien 2, It has better support, it has a faster CPU, can play virtually any video file you chuck on the HDD, and its 500% better supported than the Alien 2, for just a few quid more the Xtrend is a better choice in my opinion. Its also a better looking box in my opinion. The Xtrend also allows you to install the HDD inside the box, unlike the Alien 2 which can only support an external drive. If you want twin tuner have a look at the XTrend ET9500, its on sale at World of Sat for just under £130. If you want a cheap single tuner box have a look at the Vu+ Zero or the Gigablue HD X1. To be honest i would rather buy one of those cheap and nasty Zgamma boxes than another SH4 based box. ![]() The SPARK image that comes pre-installed is just horrible. I haven't found an image yet for my Alien 2 which doesn't have some sort of glitch or annoying issue. Images for the SH4 based boxes like the Alien 2 go from very flaky to just about acceptable. Most MIPS based boxes are very well supported by the major image teams. I would go for a MIPS based box in all honesty. ![]()
