Hi itgaters. Have my tgm200 running well with cccam. But looking to get something similar but with hd. Have a budget of around 200eur. Not fussed about twin tuner but pvr to USB or hdd would be good. Any suggestions? I don't think itgate ever brought out a hd version?

Thanks in advance.

DM 800 hd pro sim 201 and with you being used to linux this box should be a doddle to set up.

Yep I'll second that,I've got 2 of em here but if you really want the top dog of sat receivers go for the VU+Duo....class piece of kit and will do as a pvr,media centre,download hub,pause/rewind etc.
It has a 400mhz processor and shedloads of support and is easier to flash and maintain than the DM800.
But if you budget is 200 I'd deffo have a look at the 800.
Get the pro version with revision M tuner or even the newer improved DM800SE with extra additions like colour led screen,2 card readers.real hdmi port(noyt DVI to Hdmi) and quieter fan to name but a few.
Images are surfacing now for the SE and will take over from the base model.
Up to you now mate.

Thanks for feedback guys. Had been worried about DM 800 after hearing manuy reports of overheating and glitching on channels. Sounds like the 'pro' or 'SE' models have this sorted.

Was thinking of the cheap option openbox S10 also..but would rather spend a bit more to get a more stable long term box.

Have to say although not HD, the pic quality of Itgate with component leads is excellent!

Keep up the good work
