The Vu Zero does not take an internal HDD. You will need to use a USB caddy/enclosure. Better to you use one with an external Power Supply as the power on the USB bus may not be enough. One of my friends USB port stopped working.

Vu Zero supports only USB 2.0 that is generally slower. Also powering via USB is suitable for 2.5" HDDs. For 3.5" you will need eternal casing with external power or you will burn your USB port.
As @WanWizard said it will be slow....

Hi
I have USB plugged into the Vu Plus Zero,
When I record the program, the TS file is recorded.
Why doesn't MP4 record?

I don't understand what you mean, but default Enigma saves recordings to a .ts file

I mean the video I record is a TS file record,
And the forum on which the video has to be uploaded does not support TS Fail,
Then I convert the video to mp4 and it uploads,
I want to not have to convert,
Direct MP4 recording,
May Allah bless you

TS means MPEG-TransportStream, the format in which DVB is broadcasted. Which means data that is received can be written to storage without any overhead.
If you need to convert a realtime stream from MPEG-TS to MP4, you would need the processing power to keep up with the stream in realtime, even when 8 recordings are active simultaneously.
Not going to happen.

Hi
Support for the vu+ brand has also ended.
Still, its value is not diminishing.
Can you explain what is the reason for this?
Thanks

What exactly is the question?
VU+ has ended all support, so if there is a software- or hardware issue that only they can solve, it won't not be fixed anymore, we can't. as we don't have access to the source code.

Hi
I mean support is over,
However, these receivers are expensive.
Why is the price not coming down?
Thanks

Because there is simply no manufacturer left that can still offer ARM-Receivers
It is a sale of the existing and still high quality Boxes.
Alternatively, only Hisi is sold.
There won't be anything new in the foreseeable future.
VU+ or the dealers still have FBC tuners and excellent ARM chipsets as remaining stock.

I think the Duo 4K SE is (or was until recently) still in production. Maybe using old existing stock of BCM chipsets.
There's been a period that it wasn't available, but now I receive emails from shops that they have it in stock again.

Hi
I doubt VU is ever going to get support again,
Because the value of the brand decreases when support ends,
But the price of Vu Plus hasn't come down yet.
How are your thoughts?
Thanks

Just out of interest.
The duo CPU is a BCM 7444S. Did Broadcom ever create a successor with maybe new features?
I couldn't find any infos in the internet.

Broadcom refuses now to provide SoC for OpenSource STB so no more "Enigma" based STB with BroadCom will be available. They reserved there SoC for proprietary (provider) boxes.
Only HiSilicon is currently providing SoC for "Enigma" STB.

There is also AMLogic and STMicroelectronics ( the SH4 type boxes ). But both are a pain to get working.

Well...
I'm not sure there are still new boxes made with an ST chipset. I know Mutant was testing with AMlogic, and afaik hasn't managed (yes) to produce anything usable. Appearently the SDK is very Android focused and it's a pain to make working drivers...
But the chipsets are there...
