    It all depends on if you want the free option with RTL on 19.2? east you will still require a cheap FTA receiver, or the server option which will determine the type of box you want SD or HD and do you want PVR capabilities

                Ok now we know your budget next question how are you on programs such as FTP,Telnet etc.. and do you want your budget to include a so called 'Gift' with it

                    I would suggest thinking about the very simple free option of using RTL in 19'e, and 5 live on the radio.

                      Your half way there then i would probably look at getting either a Clone Dm800se, Duo, Solo or something similar and with the change get yourself a cheap year long Gift

                        If the OP only wants to watch F1, then a 2nd dish with lnb, coax, mounting bolts etc can be bought for less than one months F1 subscription to get it free on 19'e for all f1 events without the hastle and expense of CS.

                          Mate if you read my first reply i already mentioned that option and it appears he does not want to follow through with it.
