I think sometimes you waffle on too much about things you know nothing about. What contact do you have with Xtrend to make a statement like that? Do you actually have a HD51 to call it 'the future'? Have you actually compared side by side the ET7500 and HD1500/OSMini?
Back to the OP's original question. The TM5402 is a great generic closed source receiver. Note that Enigma 2 is totally different and requires a little more work setting up the receiver. Take a look round www.openvix.co.uk so you can see what to expect.
These would be my recommendations, depends on budget and what you want to spend:
TM-Nano-SE M2 Plus twin sat model, don't let the low price fool you, excellent little compact receiver

Xtrend ET7500

Xtrend ET8500, looks nice in the flesh, actually nice and compact
http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/..._category=true
Mutant HD51 (pre-order)
http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/mut@nt-mutant-hd51
VU+ Solo2, bit over your budget but one of the most solid/stable receivers on the market

All the above have internal HDD facility, if your considering that sort of budget I'd recommend internal HDD.

Well i have experience of the Xtrend Et8000 and the solo2, and if you are sure you only need a twin sat tuner, i would stretch to the solo2 everyday of the week.
Nothing against the xtrend, if you are coming from a sly box you will find it miles faster and responsive, but of all the receivers i have had the solo2 is the fastest and most reliable.

Got to agree it's the Solo 2 for me. Had mine around 4 months now and after having the original Duo previously it's like going from black and white to colour!
+1 for the Vu+ Solo2 from me too.

Yes yet again.....
More waffle lol!
Seriously? Are you trying to suggest that the HD51 is higher spec to the Solo4K? What features exactly does it have what other mips receivers dont have? Don't get me wrong, the HD51 is a great receiver, but remember its a budget 4K receiver.
Not correct.
I have direct contact with Mutant and have not been advised anything Official about that and yes but cant post details until official news is released.
If you mean Kodi, their last plugin was not good.
Seriously?
but why are you comparing to Solo2 now?
Please tell me, which E2 box does not have any bugs or issues? Do you think VU+, Mutant, Gigablue or any other manufacturer provides any better support? Would you like a list of open bugs with other manufacturers?
Anyway I think the op has the info requested
Don't get wrong, I think the HD51 is a great value for money box and at the price hard to beat.

I have two Mutant HD51, because I want to have CI+ cable working with plug and play. I have them now for 1 month and no problems. Using at the moment OpenATV 5.3.
With the new firmware(HD51 V107r19 bolt 2016/09/21) the cpu runs at 1.7 and PIP can be used(You have to change parameter boot file). You can only use Oscam and not Cccam, because of the Arm processor. Both have Cable and Satellite tuner. No problems. The Mutant HD51 is very fast and booting is also fast.
