Zegemma h2h is about your best bet in my opinion, least thats the one iam going to get next, I have a openbox at the moment there ok for beginners but the software is ~~~~, the box its self is stable enough but like I said I like twin tuner boxes with good software, hope this helps ya......................c

Depend on your budget.......What you what to spend.............What you want from the box Just tv channels ?................do you need a twin tuner & cable ?

What box do you have at the moment ?.........Its easy to suggest a box but without knowing what you want to spend or need it for is harder

cost would be mid range buddy.i currently have a spiderbox 6000hd and a motorised dish setup,which i want to do away with to be honest.yes i want it for tv chammels,films/footie etc...i have a good braodband speed with virgin,and thanks for help/advice,,,,,sorry whats twintuner&cable

Twin tuner & cable

Twin tuner is a box that has 2 Sat feeds....Record one channel while watching another.......which I think your box has already
cable lets you access VM channels in HD

So best of both worlds......

If I where you I wouldn't swap the Spiderbox for the open/Zegmma.......there a step down I would say
Just buy a cable tuner for the box & you have the best of both worlds Sat & Cable

No need to fork out for a new box.....Just get rid of the motorised dish & get a small fixed one if you only want 28.2

thanx mate i appreciate advice,will do what u say

[les127]

one more question if i may please,do i need a dish at all for the zgemma box?,i only wanna watch tv not record

[chris31560]

yes.............c

The box you have is better than the box you after buying .......No idea why they both do the same thing ?????

Spiderbox6000HD is still well supported closed source receiver but is only a single tuner satellite receiver and you cannot use ant type of USB tuner with this model.

Your potential upgrade would be if you have a live VM cable feed: Zgemma H.2H and the Edision OSmini Combo both have a single satellite tuner and also a DVB-C/T/T2 tuner which will help with the cable side.

The Zgemma are Fine but if you wnat a better build quality feel for your money the the Edision is the choice, although the Zgemma cannot be knocked for the price

think i agree edison been better build and quality,but surprises me when you want to do away with motorised setup unless broken i might hold on to it.are you allowed to add a single dish for 28.2 to open up more choices,have also got a dish on 13. xtrend are a next step up and could be 3 or 4 tuner setups.
