Never heard of it, so there will be lack of support for it. Go dream, vu or blade if I was you.

hi
if your just looking tv in great hd picture go for the blade


your below statement is what you will get with the blade

is it easy to setup...
ie connected to my network install my cline


one of its best features is the channel update thru the menu its great for people thats not that clued on about sat boxs it also has a 7 day epg
its also a very user friendly box and can be set up in no time

the tm5402 is more or less the same but does not or did not have the channel update thru menu feature and in my eyes is a let down for it

so for a simple easy to use box the blade would be my first choice

top box, SPARK boxes like the alien are definitely one for future interest if you are into development of Neutrino-HD rather than enigma2.

the Golden Media 990 Reloaded SPARKBOX is current being used as the cheapest HD SPARK dev box for the early stages of dev for Neutrino-HD on the various SPARK boxes.

PS: blade is good box but way overpriced at ?149, this box is similar to the blade and much cheaper althought the blade build is much better and the support for blade is also better then amiko alien. But dm800hd is still the safest bet!

Asw you can see from your experience, look how annoying it is to try to get cccam working on these boxes??, this is stupid and the makers should have at least had some kind of cccam support!
