    Dont get openbox or s*ybox, they are not worth the headache. tooo many issues with them as you can see from the forum.
    Zgemma or dreambox enigma 1 or enigma 2, alot more support and they last.
    I've got a dreambox 500s V8, never had a problem with it, in my opinion alot better than Openbox or S*ybox. Also I've had openbox x5 which for some reason kept freezing also got a openbox s12 which has issues at moment.

      Clabster, just to add to what mini has posted, if you live in a tower block and your communal feed is just a single satellite feed cable/socket then if your looking for a Zgemma box then get a single tuner box ie the Zgemma S or the newer Zgemma H.S this will save you wasting your money on dual tuner boxes which will be of no use to you.

          Whilst the H.2H is a great box, it is a combo satellite/cable box. So unless the OP lives in a cable area they will be paying the extra costs for the H.2H compared to a cheaper single tuner satellite box.

                  If set up correctly the picture quality is much better and Auto Bouquets keeps all channels up to date and in same order.

                  Slightl more complicated to set up but not rocket science if your prepared to read up a little.

                      All the info cannot be discussed on this site. Google can find all the info but you need to read up on Linux E2 and FTP client. Most files can be downloaded through the addons menu but certain files need to be added using Filezilla or other FTP client.
