Personally I would Recommend the XPEED LX3 it is an Excellent Receiver and you can get one from the sponsors for £328

The TMT3 looks like it could be a great box for the price if technomate can provide proper working drivers.
No ViX image as of yet though.

GiGaBlue HD QUAD+ seems to have some current driver issues too. Few boxes don't (all at different degrees though), but not a bad choice.
What's your budget, need for 3 or more tuners?

The Duo2 is also an Excellent Receiver but Expensive at £428 for the same spec as the LX3 ie 2 sat and 1 cable tuner

I should also say that it is very well built and oozes Quality as I have both the Duo2 and LX3

in my own personal opinion the LX3 is on par and equal to the Duo2 and in some respects Better the LX3 has 2 fixed DVB-S/S2 Tuners and 2 spare empty slots
so you could fit 2 DVB-C/T2 cable/terrestrial Tuners if you wanted to or another 2 DVB-S/S2 sat

The Duo 2 has only 2 slots that usually fit either DVB-S2 Twin or DVB-S2 single Tuners so you could have 2 Twin Tuners like I have giving you 4 sat tuners
or fit a DVB-C/T Cable Tuner so only giving you 3 tuners or only fit a DVB-S/S2 Single sat and DVB-C/T Cable giving you only 2 tuners

the single tuners are the same price for the Sat and Cable on both the LX3 and the Duo2 at £29 each and the Twin sat for the Duo2 are £59 each

so you could purchase the LX3 with just the 2 fixed sat tuners at £299 then purchase additional tuners as funds allow :D and in no way am I trying to persuade you to get the LX3 :rolleyes::cool::D

You should be creating your own thread and not invading other peeps posts, you have wrote this on 3 different posts, and completely random to what you have wrote.
