new box from your online shop

[bandit148]

hi guys hope someone can help I was going to buy a technomate tm t2 or GiGaBlue HD 800 UE+ Plus 1x Satellite DVB-S/S2 + 1x Hybrid DVB-C/T Linux Enigma2 what one do you guys recomend.

[Larry-G]

depends on your budget and exactly what you want to get out of the receiver.

[bandit148]

budget at the moment around £200 mark.have amiko alien 2 hd at the moment but to many prob.s with it so looking to get rid .iam looking to get same plugins etc as the alien 2

[Larry-G]

for £200 you have a good choice as you said the TM's, Gigablue, xp1000, SF8 HD etc etc.

as for plugins any of the above boxes will run all your used to on the alien and a lot more as these are true enigma based boxes and not running a badly hacked E2 like the alien does.

thanx for that m8 would you recomend this as for the sat/cable side.GiGaBlue HD 800 UE+ Plus 1x Satellite DVB-S/S2 + 1x Hybrid DVB-C/T Linux Enigma2 ,and is there room inside this box for hdd our is it just external.

[Larry-G]

Never used the gigablue my self but from what i hear it is a solid receiver, with the setup your suggesting you will have a dual tuner not a twin, meaning that you can only use one tuner at a time and not both as you can with a proper twin tuner.

[bandit148]

yes m8 i see what you mean will have to do a bit more reading up on the gigablue as i defo like the look etc of this box and Colored LCD Display.

No idea to be honest pal. But the forum sponsor may know.

At around the £200 mark I think I would be going for the Venton HD2.

Its a solid box with good driver support. It will support dvb-s2 and dvb-c/t with the bonus of an internal hdd.

The Technomate is a good box but it has took a while for Technomate to sort the drivers out and the Venton is slightly better speced.

The plus boxes from Gigablue look great but they're just out so I would expect some teething problems and won't support an internal hdd.

The UE+ has LCD, but not for live TV.

The HD2 here is a better option to use a combo satellite / terrestrial as it has DVB-T/T2 http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/Venton-Unibox-HD2-single-tuner-hybrid-dvb-c-t2-cable-freeview-hd?filter_name=hd2

DVB-T2 will give you Freeview HD.

Thanks for the info Sicilian,what it was i seen on youtube that the GiGaBlue HD 800 UE+ Plus 1x Satellite DVB-S/S2 + 1x Hybrid DVB-C/T Linux Enigma2,has MINI LCD TV on the receiver screen.

[Sicilian]

has MINI LCD TV on the receiver screen.

Not tested that feature here so cannot confirm at this time, but its far to small to watch live TV on and why would anyone want to?
