    when you say cheap, whats your budget?

    not sure of prices, but the "blade" unit is a cheap unit, but I dont rate it, really dependant on what you want, I would go for the uno, or ET5000
    Units; VU+Ultimo/duo/DM800/7020HD/tm9100
    1.2 channel master/quad feedhorn/36volt /vbox
    1 fixed dish, and 1 motorized 1mtr dish
    and a pile of redundant cards/cams

    The cheapest HD stb that i know about is the Openbox..

    A m8 of mine has one.. and it runs perfectly.. It amazes me that he never gets as much as a glitch at anytime..

    Just a bit of a nightmare setting up your 1st one.. So be prepared for A LOT of reading.. and it also tends to make you say words you would not normally say.. if you know what i mean.. lol

    Depends if you cheap and cheerful with full uk warranty. Personally i'd look at the TM5402 or Blade BM7000s if you want cheap, but if you want a single tuner reasonably priced linux box look at the Xtrend ET5000 or the VU+ Solo. The ET5000 will perform as fast as your Duo
