You're right, just slight 'fear' of the new and unknown (and slower learning curve over the years!) - have no understanding of how Linux boxes work and how you open channels (though the number on which patching is still successful on the TM is far less than it used to be). I watch a lot of the European culture channels for my work - Mezzo, Arte, 3Sat etc
Think I have a lot of reading up to do! I see lot of the new boxes call themselves multistream and/or seem to use broadband connection. Is that an add-on to the satellite feed, or an alternative source altogether? I know lots of people view IPTV boxes - not sure that's a long-term stable solution though, is it: sources changes a lot? Better stick with direct satellite feed?
