    What box do i get?

    Hi Guys I have outgrown my openbox S10 and now want to get a more robust box i am looking to spend between ?150 and ?200. I have owned a couple of linux cable boxes in the past so i am ok with a linux box. I feel i rushed into buy the openbox and i dont want to make another mistake, should i get a DM800 HD or Blade 7000 or is there another box in my prize range i should consider? please let me know what you think and why thanks

      Consider the spiderbox 7000HD, If not I would go for the DM800HD!

                      I've had the openbox s9 and it was very annoying to use. I sent mine back, wouldn't recommend them. The Blade BM7000 is a good box for basic functionality but very easy to use EPG etc. The DM800HD is very good enigma 2 box.

                                              All I heard about the Openbox S9 is bad reports, Audio f ups etc, Dreambox 800HD, Spiderbox 7000/9000HD or blade 7000HD all the way!

                                                      The openboxes are good if all you want is to watch a particular channel in HD. Anything else ie EPG or easy changing of channel or even easy way to arrange channels, then any other box will be better.

                                                          the qbox mini might be a good box but with a 250 processer the same as a dm 500 which is about 10 years old
