    Wife not happy - Purchased a SKYBOX M3 (Fs5) to replace my SKY HD+

    I purchased a Skybox M3 (similar I think to a FS5) as I cancelled my SKY subscription. However, my wife is not happy as it's too different and not as simple to use.
    Can anyone suggest what is out there for me. I've concluded I need a new receiver with:
    1. a twin tuner.
    2. easy to use OS (enigma 2?)
    3. Ideally 'series link' function
    4. PVR functionality
    5. Time shift (rewind, pause & forward live TV)
    6. Media player function (play videos)
    7. Price £100 - £150

    I'm aware there are a lot of cheap Chinese boxes but I've not had any issues with my box not functioning properly. It's just the interface is poor. I suppose I was expecting too much from a £50 box.

    Which processor is best - I think the M3 has a Dual 396Mhz, which I believe is fast? What is a MIPS box?
    Enigma 2 - Is there anything else worth considering although I do like the enigma 2 interface

    Thanks
