    ET8000 3XDVB-S2 Tuners

    Looking for a decent box with 3 sat tuners. Does the ET8000 fit the bill better than the Gigablue HD Quad+????

    Any other recommendations for a triple tuner around the same price, 250 including fitted HDD.

    Probably going to order this box at some point today, Is it easy enough to take my HDD out of my sky receiver and fit it into the ET?

    I am assuming sky use 3.5" HDD, I am quite tech minded so am quite confident I will be able to switch the HDD.

    I have replaced tuners in my other boxes.
