    Spiderbox 9000HD......or not?

    I think that I've decided to buy the SpiderBox 9000HD.
    Anyone have any comments on this box before I buy it?
    I don't see much difference between the 9000 and 9900.

    For a non-linux box they're pretty good, the 9900 has a newer CPU and is much faster.

    yeah i have to agree with sic on this one im a major linux fan but for a non linux a spider is brilliant

    only thing i will say its a *!;./x+ to find what to do on the remote

    somtimes when adding items in menu or wrtiting text its not just a simple scroll to OK button but rather a series of buttons that i can never remember to get to OK

    But once your fluent in spider then it wont ensnare you in its web of annoyance and is a fun box to use

    Hi , another none linux box to look at would be blade media 7000s is a very good receiver . Picture quality very good easy to get on with and lots of help from forum. Depends on what you want from receiver ,with me its just ease of use lets say if you know what your doing you can get lots of enjoyment from this receiver lots of channels.

    My experience of a Spiderbox 9000 was great but I found it weakness to be the CS side of things and that was my only reason for getting rid of it. Glitching or freezing is its downfall & you'll only notice this when you get into the CS side of things.

    God......I brought a spider when they first arrived .......and must say I had so much trouble with it freezing.....so got rid and brought a duo. But in saying that....I now use the spider as a second box in the bedroom and must say the freezing issue is better but still dont like the thing and will be getting another duo soon.
