    My help will be limited but will hopefully assist other members who have multi sat setups;
    1. Whats your budget?
    2. Do you want a twin tuner to record?
    3. Do you need a cable tuner or the ability to add one in the future?

        If the 4 satellites that you have access to now are run of either a Diseqc motor or even a Diseqc switch then for around ?60 look at the Zgemma S model its Linux enigma2 based and can receive HD channels, how you actually source these channels is another matter and not for this Forum to discuss.

        Regards

                  If your after a Combo receiver then you would need something like the Zgemma H2 which includes a DVB-S2 tuner ( Satellite ) and a DVB-C/T/T2 tuner ( Cable/Terrestrial/Terrestrial HD )

                      Yes it does require Flashing an image via USB, but seeing as you are already experienced in the DM500s Linux Enigma1 then the jump to Enigma2 is no problem pretty much all the tools you used for the DM500 FTP,Telnet etc.. can be used on Enigma2 the only difference is the folder structure is slightly different but not by much
