What Receiver shall i buy? All advice welcome!

[RedDevil101]

Hi guys
I am new here!
I am after some advice about what receiver to buy.
I currently have a Skybox F5S, and while most will say it's a plastic piece of turd ;-) has done the job for me but now I'm looking to upgrade after seeing what some peoples boxes can do!

Budget of about £100

Requirements:
•PVR, either external or internal (Pref External)
•Easy OS ( Enigma maybe? Never used it, please post reviews)
•Supports CC**m (we will not discuss due to forum rules, just required)
•Full HD
•Able to be tuned to 2 different satellites (28.2 and 19.2)]
•Ethernet Port

All posts welcome.
I look forward to my stay on World Of Satellite! :-)

welcome to the mad house,if wanting to record you would need a twin tuner but budget is too too low vu solo2,new tm nano se single tuner £99 and can use external hdd.box will do many other things including many sats if dish moves

Vu boxes look great but not really what I am looking for. Only got 1 cable coming into a single tuner is fine! will look at the Tm Nano Se Single. Does it run Enigma? And is it easy to get on with?

[cactikid]

yes got vix on it and as like others fairly simple,do me a favour and download the vu manual pdf in downloads.its the best to try and understand what we talk about.

Have a look at the vu zero too, single tuner box..

[RedDevil101]

Ok, The Vu Zero is a definite contender. Has anyone got the Zgemma-Star H1.
Does the shop sell it with Vix already on it?
Looking for something which will be easy to set up. With my skybox I can stick a cc**m.cfg file on it and then just update via USB. Is this possible with Vix?
or is there another way which is just as easy?

I would go with either the Technomate Nano-SE or the Vu+ Zero. Both enigma2 boxes, both supported by ViX and both excellent cheap boxes to get you going. And yeah WoS sells with image installed if you select it from list.

[RedDevil101]

Vu+ Zero looks great! Do you know if it outputs HDCP like a sky+ HD box does or not? I like recording things straight to my PC HDD but I cant do that with channels due to HDCP. Anyone know? If it can record decrypted programs, would it just not have HDCP?

[cactikid]

very touchy subject decrypted programs talk,and deffo dont talk about zgemma clones,we only do the original supported boxes here

[RedDevil101]

Ok then lol, ill have a root about online. So Vu+ Zero looks like the best box out there for my current requirements.

What if I have 2 dishes, lets say dish 1 and dish 2, both have cables coming in to the house. I got a twin tuner receiver. Would I be able to have one cable from dish 1 and one cable from dish 2 coming into the box? And then if I selected I a channel on dish 1 in the epg, and then clicked a channel on dish 2, would it realise and switch over?

Very interesting, What is the cheapest twin tuner sat box which will run enigma and Vix?

you wont get help here with the Zgemma due to it being a counterfeit receiver, nor does it have any support from ViX regardless of claims you may see else where.

Have a look on sponsors site. Also keep an eye out in the classifieds.

Probably the Vu+ Solo SE with a twin DVB-S/S2 tuner installed, or one of the twin tuner TM models like the Nano 2 super.
