    Advantages of Sat Receiver

    Originally I have been looking at some of the receivers shown on these forums for my holiday home in Spain. All I wanted was a good quality HD receiver with the ability to record 1 channel at a time. I only need to watch free to air channels but would quite like to have a 7 day epg . Also it would be nice to be able to use my basic sky card - but this isn't overly important. I also sometimes have French guests over and it would be nice to have a few channels for them to watch. I have a large dish - but not motorised.

    Could anyone give me any advice without the use of any technological terms as my knowledge of satellite systems is purely a basic sky and freesat system.

      A TM5402 is hd, has 7 day epg and reads a sky card.
      It also has pvr.

                  both good boxs tm with rf out but no channal update thru menu which lets it down unless this has been added from the last one i had, also stupid place for the group/fav and epg button on controler

                  blade with online channal update which in my eyes wins for ease of use for the people that dont want to or not sure how to with usb sticks to put channal lists on, channals can be updated in 20 seconds and it has a better laid out menu screens

                  this is only my views on both boxs

                      Not rocket science to use usb stick, but agreed an online list is good.

                          Thank you for your replies. Would anyone recommend a cheaper box eh openbox s11 is advertised at about ?60 - or is this not suitable.

                              openbox will do exactly what you want.
                              Fave replies from various threads

                              1: What the fff is all that about??? All that crap below your reply I mean, get a life mate
                              2: no info on google abt the pace sv5 rang asda they have no idea what i was talking about,
                              3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

                                  I would stay clear of the Openbox its tuner has a mind of its own sometimes with certain brands of LNB, if it for the Holiday home in spain then as Manic and Potrobber said either a TM5402 or a Blade 7000 made in the same factory and have identical tuner which is very sensitive and ideal for weaker transponders should you have any issues while your in spain.

                                          Cant beat Dreambox 800hd for its support,must be the most common box out there.
