hi guys.

my stb has just died at the worst time for me.

i now need to buy a new box with limited funds. i want an E2 box thats easy to setup so i can use the guide on here to set it up. with at least 1 cable turner and 1 sat turner and a hdd so i can record, i would like to spend less than £100 if possible.

can anyone recommend a good box that will fit the bill.

thank you

I use a vu+ Zero with VIX and find it pretty good, like the interface and it seems reliable, good value for money imho

with that box at that price though i would need to add the hdd at £50,
Or would it be possible to remove the hdd from my xtrend et8000 and put that in the OS MINI ?

No because that is an internal hardrive and this would not go into the edison MINI.

You can buy a hdd enclosure for about £12, Put your hdd inside that and use it as an external hdd.

You would need an external power source from the external HDD.
