Please recommend a budget freeview cable box

[Moyt]

Hi,
After an inexpensive box for UK cable, very basic and easy to use. Something along the lines of Openbox, easy to set up and update. No need for twin tuners.
However a good EPG is a must.


Budget ?70.


Thanks for your help!

PS. Amiko HD Combo is one I've been recommended.

VM EPG is natively supported in Enigma2 these days, so look for any Enigma2 box. ZGemma LC is one of the cheapest.

Thanks,
Looks like it'll be between Zgemma Star H2 combo OR Edision OS MINI.

edison is a better built unit and can run on latest openvix image.

Yup mind has been made up. Ready to buy a Edision OS MINI :)

And the Edision has built in Wifi which could prove useful.

The Zgem can be wifi as well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Speed-USB-Wifi-Wireless-Adapter-Dongle-For-OpenBox-X3-X5-V5s-V8s-ZGEMMA-UK-/152060220124?hash=item23677ed2dc:g:~LUAAOSwd3dXFer 0

Unfortunately I made the mistake of buying a wifi dongle in advance thinking I was going straight into buying a zgemma. After all the reading I've done I think it's safe to say that Edison has the edge over zgemma. Just not looking forward to the headache that might await, compared to my cheap basic to use 'state of the art' Openbox V8 :p

no headache if you read a certain thread for setting up enigma2 combo box.:)
