[gibbo74]

Hi all
Ive got a 90cm motorised dish up at the moment and want to be able to watch the football ,which box do you recommend a technomate or dreambox , also which is the easier one to update
thanx in advance

There are many models of both manufacturer, some harder/easier than others.

Not much on the hacked scene these days so I'd say a dreambox purely for cardsharing purposes.

[gibbo74]

Thanx for quick reply
is the dreambox is to set up and to update?

[Devilfish]

The dreambox can always be updated easily. The technomate needs a patched firmware to get hacked channels but they are always readily available.

If you are wanting to be able to open lots go for a Linux box like dm500 or tm9100s

Any Linux Receivers are worth a look at, stay away from off the shelf receivers at this time as many could well become obsleate for patching over the next few months, it may be even advisable to hold on a few months and see what receivers will open what if there is any break through opening any of the new encryptions.

Dont be tempted to buy something on ebay or online a lot of sellers are trying to clear out there stock incase it becomes obsleate, future proof yourself is the main message.

Hi Ive got a Technomate 6900HD super combo PVR and the picture is outstanding in 1080i. Using a 500gb hard drive to record stuff and the playback is perfect with the latest firmware patch (6.74p) would definitely would recomend.

hi alun
as any thing changed as im thinking of buying a box, not sure which yet, and ive just seen one on ebay, i assume its all something to do with sky sending out new cards,
thanks joe

[jamesowen]

tough decision.

I've been looking at both of these boxes for a while now.

[glic83]

what about the tm 500 and tm 600 supposed to be good

[wod1]

there is also azbox as i've been thinking of getting this but I'm holding off for a while as i know, i will buy something and then something else will be out.

anything that can run the Cccam, newcamd etc will be wise if you want to get into other stuff.

Hi m8,as wod says azbox is not bad for a receiver.I dont bother with the linux side.Feeds with this box is good ie 4.2.2 & tuner not bad as well.If your going for a satellite receiver that can do HD,make sure its good on Format resolution.The Azbox is about as good as there is atm,576i (480i), 576p (480p), 720p, 1080i, and 1080p (the first HD receiver to offer this!)This is a must in my book with HD dvbs2.Hope this helps abit Iv seen a lot of footie matches from feeds with this box.

Both excellent boxes, good support. Cheap as well .
