    F5 up and running in 5 mins but want to upgrade to better box, anyone suggest

    Hi guys, i am up and running with the f5, all ok. however the epg is very bad. i have read on here thats to be expected as single feed only gives epg when on the channel only. i am looking into the technomate or vu duo boxes, can anyone tell me if i can get as close to the sky layout with the epg, play, pause, forward, rewind, small screen in top right of epg, and scroll the channels with 7 day epg?
    Also watch one, record another so twin tuner?

    the f5 lets me scroll, but changes channel at same time. if anyone can reccomend a forum member/shop to buy from?

    Many thanks to AJ's channel list.
    Regards.
    B.

    If your Buying a receiver for 28.2? east then i would save your hard earned there is an imminent card change happening from late august that will change everything so anyone with interests in 28.2? east is now on a ticking clock.

    Invest in a Motorised system which should happily see you through a while longer yet and keep the F5 as soon it will be a freesat box

      that may only slow down the selling of vu receivers and you will need other sats to view,plus on the vu it can stream movies and other things,so more than just a name.

                You should be able to get a 1m dish installed and setup for you with that kind of cost and have around just under 10,000 channels at your disposal i doubt there is anything like that on iptv.

                To be honest IPTV has been brought out to satisfy the pub/club dilema so they can show something with English comms, But if you treat the satellite side as a hobby and actually put a little bit of effort into it you can actually get a lot of EPL on feeds as well as having the other usual array of channels at your disposal
