This question is in preperation of getting a Vu+ Duo for a new house we are about to build. I'm set on getting the Vu+ Duo based on great reviews, but due to a lack of knowledge/experience with Linux I'm wondering what can be used as good clients? I want to use the Vu+ as a server connected to the main TV and have a small/cheap box for each other location like the rumpus room, shed, master bedroom, etc. Don't want to use a PC, want something dedicated and simple. Usage will be watching AV files and live TV. No need for setting up recording etc.
If you are looking for a cheap basic solution, you could try a DM500 - plenty on TradeMe, however these are almost guaranteed to be clones.
It would allow you to watch TV (DVB-S) and play back SD MPEG2 .ts files from the Vu+. However it wouldn't play other types of media files or HD material without them being transcoded first. But if it's only for a second TV....
