    STB recommendations.

    Hello all

    I'm looking to buy my first stb and have been doing a bit of research on techkings, there's lots of talk about the zgemma h2s but I've also read quite a few threads on faults/issues as well, so any recommendations would be appreciated.

    I would like twin satellite tuners, a further output so I can watch through a second tv in the kitchen, HD or 4K (not sure if there is enough 4K content to justify buying a 4K box), wifi and a hdd. Budget wise, I'm willing to pay £200ish for the right box.

    Cheers

    Gary

    as far as i know it is the only twin tuner enigma2 box with RF output.
    No chance of a 4k box at £200 even when the next batch arrive, none will have a RF output that is for sure.

    Thanks for the reply, I didn't realise the rf output would limit my choice as bad as that, removing the rf option, what would be the best box, I can go upwards of the £200 if it's definitely worth the extra cost.

    TBH the solo2 takes some beating as a twin sat tuner box, it parses and runs everything very quickly.
    If you have a wired internet connection around your house you could always add a really cheap single tuner enigma2 box later for the kitchen which will then use the tuners from the solo2.
