GB800SE v BM7000

[Stanman]

Any one got both of these boxes and what do you think of them, which is better and why?

Looking for a cheao box and not sure which one to go for.

well for starters the BM7000 is closed source and not E2 based so you are reliant on the manufacturer for updates, but it does have the BBC iplayer as a feature

Really depends what you want. If you want plug & play closed source, go with the BM7000S, if you want Linux Enigma 2 functionality go with the Gigablue HD800SE which imo is a superb piece of kit for the money :)

The Blade has Iplayer? On what firmware please mate? Great if it has.
Blades a great box, easy to set up and update.
Thanks
