Price, Satellite(s), current setup

[E4evs25]

No price limit, freesat through standard sky mini dish with octo lnb fitted.

Octagon SF8008–> Zgemma H9 Twin —> Edision 4K plus or Giga4KUE (but you need to change LNB or put in something like a unicable switch to get real benefits from Giga)

1st three all have Stalker plugin that can be used for IPTV

Thanks for the info it's much appreciated, will all these allow me to record 6 or 7 channels at one time, do you know if youcan install internal hdd to them.

[twol]

If you want internal disk the Giga4K or Zgemma H7.
For 1st 3 receivers, Yes you can record 6/7 channels at one time depending on whether they use same transponders.
Giga4K has FBC tuners that will work with Unicable (read up) and will handle such a requirement

[E4evs25]

Which one would you say is the best one most reliable etc.

[twol]

Have to say all pretty reliable - quality then probably Edision (metal box)and Giga (looks good, nice remote)
All pretty good with driver support

Just to add to the brilliant advice from Twol, the FBC tuners will work with a universal LNB. Works a lot better in terms of recording than a receiver with conventional tuners.

Yes, added functionality with unicable.

Presumably you are using more than one box if you have an octo lnb installed. You'll need to assess the impact on other devices if you switch to a unicable lnb.

I've got 5 E2 boxes, some with FBC tuners and some with standard tuners and all work fine on unicable.
