    running 2 boxes of 1 dish

    I currently have sky and am thinking of getting 2 boxes so that i can record one channel while watching another.Maybe a technomate and openbox s11 will i be able to do this with my current setup.

            careful now.. sealion talk is frowned upon.. dm500, openbox, spider box, technomate 500, 600, 5402, 6900, 800hd, blade.. any two of these will do the job.. cheapest and most bang for buck.. dm500.. 2 set you back around ?100, cheapest hd, openbox.. 2 set you back around ?120-to ?140

                  Its people messing with the firmware that makes them un reliable, Its not a un reliable box, Its the hands that use them.

                      Or those that have unfortunately received a faulty box but cant accept its faulty nor wish to send it back to their seller, rather they persevere with it and then proclaim on forums how unreliable they are..

                          TBH, if all you want is to be able to record what you have, e.g. sky, then just buy a sky+ box. You'll get the full epg that sky kick out and have no problems setting recording options and the like.

                          If you take any other routes you'll have to think about how a technomate etc will be able to decode the signals form sky, while your normal sky box has your card in it.

                          If you went for sky+, and you already subscribe to sky movies, then there is no charge for using sky+
