Technomate TM-8000 HD or Icecrypt STC6000 HD ???

[eclipse]

Hi everyone, and glad to have found this forum.

I was one click away to buy the Technomate TM-8000 HD, when I saw an ad of the Icecrypt STC6000 HD.

They seem similar, but Technomate has e-sata + S-Video... on the other hand Icecrypt has PIP (2 channels HD and while recording!)... not sure if Technomate has this feature...? Icecrypt's Terrestrial (if one chooses this option) is T2, while Technomate is T only...?

Also, Icecrypt plays Xvid and MKV (!) where I have found no such info about the Technomate...?

Don't know where Icecrypt is made... any idea anyone?

And all in all, which one has better features, is more reliable, etc, in your opinion? Never had any of the two brands, so don't know much about them...

Hope to hear all your comments soon, because I need to make the purchase on Sunday (the latest!).

Thanks.
