Affordable Dual Tuner Box

[Sven]

Hi all,

I have seen that the question has been banded around in the past, but not for a while now, so I will ask.

Does anyone know of and could recommend a Dual Tuner FTA Box. By affordable I mean around ?150 to ?200 mark. I currently have a Starview 5 box which is good, but it drives me mad not being able to record one channel and watch another. I also miss the rewinding of live TV that I had with Sky but I can do without it.

Any help would be appreciated.

with cable more or less over, would be best to look at sat and cs.be lucky to get much for what you want to spend. i would look at vu+, twin tuner, qaulity box.

Thanks for the reply. Do you still get the same channels with Sat? Is it very easy to set up? Would I need one of those remote adjustable dishes or will my old (well fairly new actually) Sky dish do? Is there anything else other than the box I would need? Sorry for all the questions but as you can probably tell, I am not that up on this sort of thing. Any help or advise you can give will be appreciated.

you will be ok with dish you have got for sky, unless your looking at picking up other sats, but start from basic and expand in future. if you want to start off cheap, use dm500, dont get the cheapest, ive had major issues, i use dmv, ?10 more but worth it. you will need to also connect to router via cable or wireless. setup can be easy or hard, the way i do things is easy, more or less plug and play. you will need to pay a cs sub, but at no where near as much as you would pay legit, and less than you would pay for a basic package with sky.

Thanks for the advice. I have been having a look around the "Satalite" section and it looks like there is a lot of choice of how you can set these things up. I think I have my homework for the next few days. Once I have taken the plunge I may be posting for more advice, so I hope to reply on you in the future. Thanks again for steering me in the right direction.
