    box dead. want to replace??

    hi

    my box has died or at least the HD output has. I am looking to replace it but seem to be unable to find it on sale now why is this? i can find the xtrend 7000 and i assume that is an older model and the xtrend 8500 so why if they still sal ethe older and newer model why cant i get the 8000 as i know and like that model?? I have been told the the zgemma h2h or the edision OS mini would be ok to replace it with as i have a limited budget but i am concerned over these as i am not sure how good they are or how easy to setup and use. shame i really liked the 8000.

    Its like anything in life, new replaces old and its just the same here. If you got a Zgemma H2H you will not get any support whatsoever on this forum, as its a receiver ViX don't support. I would personally go with one of these if you can stretch your budget that is >> http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...os-mega-osmega

    All e2 boxes basically work the same as far as using the Vix image is concened. As Andy says the Zgemma is a no no as far as this forum is concerned - the os mini is a good box if all you want is a single tuner.

    The Zgemma H2H is a clone/counterfeit receiver using a hacked version of ViX, thus why they are not supported here and never will be. Oh and also known to be a fire hazard in some cases.

    Why is that so bad to do?. What if people are genuinely interested to buy original receivers that the sponsor no longer sells.
