    Recommend budget twin tuner receiver please

    I'm looking into buying a second twin tuner for the spare bedroom.

    I have an xtrend ET8000 and like the Vu Solo2 but don't really want to spend over £200.

    Can you recommend a good twin tuner with 500gb hard drive installed (preferably available from world of satellite.)

    Has to be compatible with OpenVix


    Thanks

    Yep, I would buy the ET8500 and stick the ET8000 in the bedroom.
    At WoS prices a no brainer....... and in my view the 8500 is a much better receiver than the 8000 and they use the same remote

    I like the sound of the Techomate one. Does it come with the twin tuner modules installed so basically all I have to do is connect the 2 wires from the LNB? Does anyone have any experience with this box?

    I'd go for the TM Nano SE Plus. It looks a great budget receiver. The Xtrend ET8500 is a bit like marmite, you'll either love it or hate it, but is a good price nonetheless.
