Time for a Second box

[john doe]

I've decided to get a second box for the bedroom or spare room (not decided yet).

I've seen 3 boxes in my price range (please see below). which is better and how easy are they to setup? i've a solo2 (brill box) and want something cheaper. Also is there a tutorial for flashing any of the below boxes.

1- Golden Interstar xpeed LX2
2- Octagon SF8 HD XP100
3- Technomate TM-Nano2 Super (slightly over my budget) is it worth paying bit extra?

open to suggestions here

1 & 2 are similar spec in terms of cpu, ram, performance etc. With the LX2 you get the added hybrid tuner. The Nano-2 Super is similar spec to a Solo2 but with no VFD. If using ViX they're all the same to setup.
