thanks for the reply guys , well iv been looking at the GiGaBlue HD Ultra UE Linux Enigma 2 HD PVR Satellite Receiver 2x DVB-S/S2 ,
I'm new to this so don't get 2nd DVB-S/S2 or DVB-C/T/T2 Hybrid tuner whats the difference between tuners ?
iv got 2 feeds coming in from the dish ... i just wanna watch and record and for it to be stable , had a complete nightmare with that zgemma star 2s so had to send that back get a refund

S2 tuner is for satellite, DVB-C/T/T2 tuners are for cable/terrestrial.

Yes you would need 2 satellite tuners, for watching and recording 2 channels on different transponders
When i bought my quad it came with 2 sat tuners and i ordered a dvbt tuner for use with an aerial

Been testing recent drivers / images, imo GB have finally got it right.

i was so happy with my quad that when i wanted a box for upstairs, instead of getting a low end box i ended up getting a quad+ for the main box and put my quad upstairs.

as has been said, i feel that they have sorted the niggles and they are now a very, very good system.
