Hi there.
I currently have a technomate 5402 HD Super CI+ and I am happy with it after some testing.
Albeit very basic in its on screen display menus etc.
I have not found any way of implementing a series link recording function for it which is the only major downer about it for me as I can live with cheap graphics as long as the Picture quality is excellent and it certainly is.
I use Newcamd with this reciever.
However I am currently ditching my popular UK satellite tv provider and need to opt for some new hardware that will support twin tuners for recording and Newcamd.
I have it reduced down to two options I think
1) Stick with what I know and upgrade to the technomate 7100
2) change and upgrade to the VU+ Duo
I really like the guide i currently use for the technomate as it is very like the popular uk satellite tv provider in that you get a picture of the channel as a preview etc as you scroll through the planner to see what is on.
So what I am looking for here is some advise from peeps that actually have this hardware and use it daily as reading all the technical stats and jargon don't count for much compared to real world reviews.
So please do let me know your 'Opinons' on which you think is better and why;
and which one you own and how you rate its performance and function in comparison to the UKs most popular satellite tv provider
Also if you have either and have been able to implement some kind of series link - please share the wealth with all of us.
Thanks for you time and responses. A.
