EX1000 OR EX5000

[noname]

sorry for so many posts guys but i am not sure which box to buy. want to purchase one tonight so any advice would be great. i want one which has tonnes of firmware etc available and has a EPG, user friendly aswell. i heard the EX1000 has no interactive menu or something so not sure if the EX5000 does. i am not to bothered about recording programmes and wont be spending any money on a hard drive or pvr. i have a dvd recorder anway so can always use that. im just looking for a box which is reliable, easy to use, has lots of software available, and has a good EPG for the whole day. cheers guys

i got the pvr 5000 mate and its really great and simple to use the on screen menus, also very fast too. was so pleased i upgraded it two months later and got the hard drive too. one point i would mention is that when the new firmware came out at start of december the ex5000 was one of the first.

I would Recommend the 5000 its realy easy to use and you can upgrage to having a hard drive when you want which lets you pause tv, like sky plus :-p also you can record from your mvie channels

The only problem is, my box has been affected by the december crash and i am having diffculty updating it...Johnboy1974 anychance you could help me with that?

Hope this helps, Jason.

eurovox 1000 is best to start off with. basic and cheap but does everything

hope this helps

EX5000 indeed

Hey mate, I too would strongly recommend 5000. have had it for a six months now and works very well, user friendly and firmware is easily available.

Never used 1000 so cant say but 5000 is brilliant!
Good Luck!
