Do not get these if you read about them from AlSHAT. they lie about most prosucts to help sell them. i know someone, he paid for 12 months SKY IT card, after 7months it cut off.

AZBOX HD, a very good box at a decent price. My advice would be to stay away from clones, like the dreambox 800hd clones, when for a similar price you can get a much higher quality box in the azbox.

I used to have one but sold it as i needed the money, i wish i had it back after the problems i've had with this dreambox clone.

ATM there good things with Azbox also some bad points.Each firmware its got abit better so far 2 date.Feeds its good for 4.2.2 HD & mpeg2,for this your want a meter dish to make receiver worth while.Sport from the thing we cant talk about much,is ok,but if its movies thay brake up all the time.Receiver cr*p on that,no matter what your pc speed is.Maybe with new firmware it might get better(fingers crossed)Video Resolution take a good look @ other satellite receivers,thay dont match up as good as the Azbox.The Azbox still has more than its fair shout on bugs.Transponders needs lots of work still 2 work right.The backup restore needs work.I backed up channels where i made my own settings lists.I was p*ssed off & the channels i save a lot of them had no symbol rates.This ment no channels would show over lost symbol rates when i did a channel restore.

Hi rad,Video Resolution is a big thing if you want HD CHANNELS m8.A lot of satellite receivers are not up to the mark for HD.I can see later the Video Resolution on other satellite boxes might not be upto the job.Just bear this in mind before you buy.

So i might be as well not buying a hd sat receiver.

How are you on a pc???are you good with them???If you are then maybe the azbox is for you.If not very good with a pc maybe look @ another box.If you do look @ other boxes i dought thay do what say a azbox will,once it gets to full steam.Im not the greatest with a pc,but have had many years with lots of different satellite receivers.
