    service+ was the old system and replaced by ethernet, and now no longer in service

    so you wont get that part on any spiderbox now as its a pay before you view system

    so unless a deal has been done, it wont work as advertised

    apart from that it could be a reasonable system

        all modern boxes have an ethernet connection, and mainly rely on the internet to open channels

        but without that s+ addition its similar to all the rest, apart from protek that still has a "g*ft" and is probably the only one to still have one

        as a system, its quite good despite the "g*ft" issue, just warning you that the replacement to s+ was turned off weeks ago

          if you want a gift box then go with a protek 9710 but if not then a tm5402hd for closed source or a dm800hd or vu+solo clone for open source(E2/LINUX). the dish you suggested is a cheap and cheerfull dish that will suffice for the powerfull birds but my advice would be spend a little more now for quality components as it will save you money in the long run. id go with a triax td88 dish,tm2600 motor and inverto black ultra lnb. id say you could get the protek and the motorised dish ect if you shop around for about ?330 or the tm5402hd for about ?250 or the dm800/vu+solo for around ?230 but with the latter 3 you would have to source your own gift if you wanted anything more that fta and channels open with softcam/b.i.s.s keys. regards mdt
