    Tech Hd satallite box

    Ok guys, what in your opinion is a good run off the mill HD sat box, i do not have a motorised dish, so im not looking at fancy HD vu duo + box, but plain and simple ones, so as far as a good HD box, what is the best one out there, it has to be a linux open source box, and i believe an enigma 2, so without going over the top, what would you recommened AND WHY.. Thanks....

    *checks age of thread for fear of upsetting Spini* Hidden Content

    Fella, can I ask why you think its possibly better than the original?

    With it being a clone, how is the support structure? Do you have to hope you get a decent factory?

    Re: Hd satallite box

    Nope its just they work just the same as long asyou get the one with the decent tuner.
    the price tag is the main difference.

    remember parts like resistors,diodes, capacitors will all come from china either way more than likely so what do you think?
    what isnt built abroad these days??

    you would be paying for a name mainly imho.

    Re: Hd satallite box

    Why bother with these cheap chinese clones when you can buy a Genuine Xtrend ET5000 for ?219 inc shipping. Uses Enigma 2 just like a dreambox. Better quality, better picture, full uk warranty, faster cpu, blindscan capable.

    That Dm800 is ?160 inc shipping, so you'll save ?59 and up with a clone negliagible warranty and you'll also have to be carefull what DM800 images you use.

    In fairness, I guess reading my post could come across badly, apologies for that.

    Basically Im having a laugh at my own expense, I'm kinda struggling on what box to get, everytime I get close, something comes up, and theres another option to consider Hidden Content

    LOL, I was driving home tonight and was even considering setting up myself and 'helping' my friends out !!!! Though I wouldnt have a clue where to start there either Hidden Content

    First you need to decide if you want a Linux receiver or non linux receiver. Enigma 2 Linux receivers are more customisable. Then decide if you want a single or twin tuner, but first decide on your budget Hidden Content
