Hi,
For cable TV in Switzerland, what would be a good (and inexpensive) DVB-C receiver with OpenPLI or VTI ?
Simple receiver, whit a usb key slot for recording.
Thanks

Which one do you think is the best,
DreamBox DM520 (Not sure if it's the original or a clone) or VU+ Duo2 ?

Personally I really like the DM520HD which is H264 and H265 (but not UHD), the best is the DM525HD Combo (with Terrestrial/Cable and Satellite). You also have the DM520HDmini which is very small but only in Satellite version. The DM52xHD is Cable and Terrestrial (DVB-T2), there is the Sat version, and there is the Combo (Sat+C/T2). Admin Which one do you think is the best,
DreamBox DM520 (Not sure if it's the original or a clone) or VU+ Duo2 ?

Just received a DM520HD. It's original dreambox (with soldered tpm).
I flashed a "DM52xHD OpenPLi 9.xStar for Dreambox" (Original version, not Japhar).
Working fine.
Aside from the target support Dreambox or clone, what are the differences in operation between the Original version and the Japhar version ?

There is no difference, just enjoy your box (and you paid it very cheap, 18 CHF ;o) Admin Just received a DM520HD. It's original dreambox (with soldered tpm).

I replaced most of my boxes with DM525HD Combo (Sat+Terrestrial/Cable), running our OpenPLi image, that works great on them. TS Yes, right, cheap.
