Compact Linux receiver for HD TV

 

The VU+ ZERO is a compact Full HD satellite Linux receiver with a single DVB-S2 tuner. According to available data, it uses a 742 MHz MIPS processor, 256 MB of flash memory, and 512 MB of DDR3 RAM, as well as a 10/100 Mbit Ethernet port, HDMI 1.4, two USB 2.0 ports, and an external IR sensor. Power consumption is less than 13 W during operation (with an active LNB) and less than 0.5 W in deep standby.

 

Software and functions

 

The software is based on the Enigma2 platform and supports plugins, skin customization, and web services. Features include EPG (Electronic Programme Guide), bouquet lists (favorites), a multilingual on-screen display, and network integration. Thanks to its Ethernet port and USB ports, the ZERO can be used as an IP client or connected to external storage media.

 

Target group and areas of application

 

The ZERO is aimed at price-conscious users looking for a reliable entry-level device for satellite HD reception – compact and functional, but without luxury features like dual tuners or UHD resolution. The device is typically a good choice when only one tuner is needed and the focus is on network connectivity and plug-in capability, rather than extensive recording functions or multiple tuners.
