    Which box for an upgrade?

    Hi everyone,

    I tried searching for my answer but the couldn't find anything...

    Anyway, I have an old Skybox M3 which has been doing me proud for nearly 2 years. I have fitted a couple of F5's for friends and I have also fitted a Solo2.

    I am looking at upgrading my box so I can record TV and make use of a better EPG.

    I know the solo2 does all of this but it's a bit pricey for me so I am looking at something in the mid-range.

    Can anyone recommend me a box?

    Thanks

            A certain retailer is doing the Octagon SF8 (silver) Linux Enigma2 receiver Original so no fear of clone patched images for ?119, And please no mention of any Shops this can be found via Google

              Like ryrobbo, I am looking to upgrade my F3. I too want something which is easier to record on. I had almost decided on the Vu Duo until I read this post. I am used to making changes to the F3 and really worried about whether I will be able to set up the new box. Any recommendations on ease of setup of the 3 boxes mentioned above? Also the sellers offer the image of choice - any suggestions which image to go for. Again, any that are easier for a novice? Thanks.

                Is the bug where the memory chips are failing ? tempting to buy a failed one as mate got a hot air soldering station at his shop if only I could get hold of the memory chips

                    DreamBox clone ( or real if you have the money) is the best way to go. Well know UK based sat site sells them ( ask if you need help) and way beter than the crap you might get from China, WIHOUT expensive returns under warranty
