    what box would you recomend

    hi all

    I have a solo2 which is flawless. but am looking for another box for another room in the house.

    am looking for something that has egp to see what on now and next, I don't need to record, don't need hard drive. but something that is nippy and smooth and willl not cause me issues. possible vix image but not fussed. I know f5s are around but epg not the best

    any recommendations?

    Bought a Gigablue 800 UE+ no vix image for it yet but the italsat one works fine, in fact so good I bought another! one of the reasons was the colour display on the front which looks really good. I think the vix image is due imminently.
