Yep, I expect it to be more than the single tuner model as well - just hoping there may have been a ballpark figure...

Cool! I rarely watch KU and do very little timed recording, so the one that I just got will work great for me. Thanks!
Too many choices in the window. Right now I have KU sats on my Linkbox and C Band sats on my Amiko. I was selecting the wrong band about 50% of the time when I had both bands together.
Huh? In OpenVix, it very clearly shows you which band in the menu.
I see them fine. I was usually rushing and selected the wrong one a lot. Splitting them up made things MUCH easier for me.
The OS Mio is the finest receiver of any kind that I've ever owned. If you ever change your mind, you won't be disappointed
I had tested the U4 Quad and the reoccurring slow navigation in the GUI was frustrating. Combined with the sloth speed blind scan, I feel your pain. Didn't shed many tears to upgrade. LOL!
The 64 bit processor in the Mio makes for an enjoyable experience. It is the first E2 STB that I have used that not only equaled, but surpassed appliance type STBs in operation and performance. But, if you are happy with your current STB, why upgrade?
This is great news.
Since the unneeded DVB-T2 tuner will be replaced by a second S2 tuner, maybe it won't be a big price difference. I would guess the production cost is similar.
I'm not all that happy with my current receiver. I just like having dual tuners. If the price is reasonable I'll probably buy the dual DVB-S2 OS Mio when its available....

How do you know it won't have two satellite tuners, AND a DVB-T2 tuner? After all, it's made for European use, and that's their market...
I don't. Just an educated guess. (And maybe some wishful thinking thrown in too).
Just received an update from Edision on the Mio+ model. It will add a 2nd fixed DVBS2 tuner and OELD display.
Based on pricing of other brands, my guess is that adding these two features to the current hardware will increase the price by at least $75 to $100.

I'm really liking the way the Edision interacts with the PC. The PC has several displays connected. Projectors and a big screen TV. I can so easily use the Edision for the signal source and watch on any of my displays that I hardly use the PC tuner anymore.
I'm going to put on my newbie hat as I'm 4k DVB receiver shopping and as best I can tell that means an E2 box and not Android . As it looks like many receivers have options to run same E2 builds, what exactly separates one E2 DVB receiver from the other? I know there must be some hardware differences, maybe like a dell vs. HP computer both running Windows? I'm inclinded to get a Mio 4k because I like every product ever purchased from Titanium, I'd just like to learn advantages/disadvantages. Not trying to stir any debate but what are pros/cons of Mio 4k vs. Octagon (SF4008/8008) or Dreambox One Ultra?
Biggest advantage of the Edision OS Mio receivers? The FACT that Titanium is selling them HERE, in the USA and fully supporting them for the U.S. hobbyists.
That's all you need to know, to make an informed decision.
I've owned the Os Mio for a year now, and hands down, it's the best receiver I've ever owned, and I've owned plenty of them. There is a learning curve, but once you are past that, you'll love it.
I totally appreciate the enthusiastic support, prefer to buy products from Titanium and while product satisfaction is always good to hear could you please provide objective advantages or reasons why it is preferable over another E2 receiver, such as Octagon? I know you meant well but advising someone to buy brand X without justification is sort of like saying just vote for (Fill in the blank) because he/she is a member of the (fill in blank) party
Octagon 4008 no hardware blind scan Octagon 8008 no ATSC hauppauge working yet as far as I know and the tuners in Octagon only do up to 45,000 smbl rate mio 60,000. I am watching a 49,000 smbl rate s2X caribean FTA channel with the mio as I type.
I'll add that the DVR / PVR and timeshift capabilities of the Mio are very nice. Not sure what the Octagon receivers are capable of in that regard. I use the Mio for both satellite and OTA recording. Has full PSIP EPG capability for OTA.
I also use the OS Mio for satellite and OTA recording. Another big advantage of the Mio (at least in my opinion) is that the TNAP images on the Mio are developed and maintained here in North America with specific modifications for this continent instead of Europe or Asia. Or, if you prefer, you can load the E2 image of your choice in one of the available slots and and run that.
