    Recommended Box on a budget

    hi, all

    I've been using enigma2 for just over 3 years or so so know a bit of what boxes to buy and one's to avoid *cough*zgemma-death-traps*cough*

    I have had used humax and vu+ and still have a duo2 as my main receiver, now i am looking to purchase a 'best recommended' box on a budget of around £150

    I realise a lot of this is based around personal preference but would just like to see what others have used to see what I can get for £150

    The box is for a family member as a birthday prezzy

    Would prefer if possible a multi-box that does DVB-C/T and DVB-S; but not a must; DVB-S preferred if I can't get multi for the money

    also like to have at least 2 tuners so that it will be able to record one channel whilst watching another

    I was looking at the Mut@nt boxes which are kinda cool; anyone have any good rec's or am I being to cheap for what I want to get ?

    Thanks in advance

    Is that a cable only tuner in that box rather than a SD/HD via an aerial + cable hybrid tuner?

    If i was getting a triple tuner box for someone, who recorded a lot of soaps, i would buy them a twin DVB-S2 single DVB-C, most Recorded TV is FTA and this would be easier to set up, many potential problems with dual cable set up.
