which is the best budget box to buy now? i have skybox f3. any alternatives

[wakkaday]

i have a skybox f3 for the past year
and i am thinking about getting another box, but i dont know which one? is it worth getting one with wifi built in?
i dont really need to record anything to a harddrive, want something cheap and cheerful.

please advise?

A budget would be more helpful. What I consider to be a budget box, might not be a budget box to you.
So without knowing what your budget is, it's a bit hard to make recommendations.
TM 2T-OE is pretty good at just over ?200.

or the tm single at 169 or the et4000 at about 130i or a 800hd se clone

less than a ?125 really
thank you, i get your point

If you can stretch to 145 you will get a vu+ uno clone from prc. It runs rings around the solo and you could always change the plug and play tuner to make it a twin tuner at a later date if your needs require. It also takes an internal 3.5" hdd
