Noob, looking for reliable card sharing and decent receiver

[Duffyvader]

I have been seriously considering a VU+ Solo2, but defo want to add ccam, so really looking for any advice please,
Is it a good choice, it seems from what I have read VU+ don't make bad kit ?
Which firmware is best, by this I mean easiest to use, prettiest, most reliable. I am thinking either VIX or Blackhole?
Oh, and some assistance on what do do with the info I get from whichever cam provider I go with, and again any recommendations on who to use are welcome, really want Sky UK channels.
Thanks in advance for anyone taking to time to reply.

I believe you start from the wrong end instead of buying and sharing your card you looking for receiver
so smth is telling me you want to use one of payserver services
Vu is a decent box but any Linux box is buggy..... so if you have no intention of using it as server you better go for the likes of "openbox" like openbox f3 is times more faster, easier ,stable and CHEAPER then any VU
regarding software for Vu- go for OpenPli - it is the only serious team (or something I may call a team)
some other factors to consider - you may not have any stable SKY UK in the near feature (even now) because ecm times are going quite high

hope it helps

thanks

VU fan here, even for a newbie it has been pretty good, but despite using a few suppliers for sky, they are all breakin up quite often despite claims on the contary.

Thanks for that, of the providers you have tried, which has seen the best results?
