I need to buy 2 receivers to upgrade existing setup.
The budget is up to 300 quid altogether (this means the one receiver can be 200 while the other is 100).
I must buy it on credit card (which is a good and bad thing at the same time) so no ebay stuff, unless it is really a superdeal.
Obviously it has to be E2 box (or E1 but to be honest I never saw E1 HD box; guess they are rarer that hen's teeth!).
It has to have recording facility and internal disk or a possibility to add it later) is an absolute must.
I don't factor HDD price in 300 quid as I have a plenty of unused low-capacity HDD both in 2.5" and 3.5" form.
Single tuner is enough. No need for DVB-T or analog stuff.
So far I've found 3 boxes that answer the requirements above:
1. Technomate Nano OE (129 quid, not sure how much will they charge for optional HDD caddy)
2. Technomate Single OE (165 quid)
3. DM800 clone (110-130 quid), but I personally don't like an idea of buying clone boxes.
Is there anything else?
If worse come to worst I could probably live with Spark receiver but internal HDD is an absolute must.
