What's the best? Cloned Dreambox 600c or Eurovox EX 5100?

[Toilet sniffer V]

I was about to buy a Eurovox EX 5100 as I wanted a PVR included. I see the Dreambox 600C has the option of fitting a hard drive.

I can get a cloned Dreambox and buy a lap top Hard Drive with 400GB for the same price as a legit Eurovox with 120GB. What's my best bet? The legit Dreambox is about ?80 more expensive.

Also, if it is "twin tuner" does that mean I can watch one channel and record on another? This isn't available on the Eurovox from what I can see and would sway me towards the Dreambox.

Lastly, if your answer is get a cloned Dreambox, where is the best place to get one from to ensure it's not some guy in his shed making it with bits from his ZX81?

Cheers

Good rep to good answers.

The Eurovox is a closed source box so you are limited in what you can do with your box. If all you want to do is watch tv than get yourself a Eurovox alternatively if you like messing about with your box and pc and enjoy a challenge than get yourself a dreambox. The genuine Dm600 has a swapable tuner and not a dual tuner so you cannot record one channel whilst watching another channel. The clone dm600 has a fixed tuner so you cannot swap the tuner from cable to sat or vice versa.
