Alternative to the Vu+ Solo2

[damienmcguigan]

Hello,

I have recently moved house and to my surprise my new house has a satellite dish pre-installed with dual LNB to the living room.

I am thinking about getting a linux satellite receiver and was wondering which ones people recommend? In the past I have owned a dreambox and I seriously thought about a Solo2 but just never got around to it.
Cost would be the main issue for me so I am looking for something in the budget range and my order of preference in terms of features would be:

1 - HD as well as SD tuner
2 - Pause/Record functionality
3 - Record one channel while watching another

I am not sure if this is the best location to post this but any recommendations you guys would have would be much appreciated as I have not been too involved in satellite receivers over the last year or two.

thanks

You can also add another 2 tuners So thats 4 in total.. Best STB on the market in my opinion..
