Ok so I got the Technomate Nano SE yesterday and managed to have a play with it and set it up. My first impression is that it is a very tidy box; I’m coming from the Skybox's so using a Linux box was different but very manageable. The preloaded VIX image was easy enough to us and set up, I managed to FTP my ccamm across using a FTP client on my smart phone, easy enough but needed to Google the username / password of the box, I could not find it anywhere in the setting or the manual, but it’s just "root" with no password for anyone else wondering. I was silly enough to do a blind scan, so I got nearly 1000 channels, lots of multiples and can’t figure out how to delete them. Activated a sky UK bouquet but I don’t like the way the channels appear and you have to press the blue button to go through the favourites to change favourites categories etc etc, its more complicated and more buttons need to be pressed than on the simpler Skybox's. I installed plugins, Kodi was there, TSMedia was there, although both installed and loaded up, it was frustrating as I couldn’t actually get anything to come up on either of them, tried searching for this and that and to play this and that but nothing would play, either because of error or because it simply could not be found. Compared to SKY's own HD+ picture the HD picture on the Technomate Nano SE isn’t as good, its good don’t get me wrong but when switching back to the official sky box after completing the setup I noticed the difference. I will continue to tinker with it and let you all know how I get along, being a Newbie to these boxes please forgive me if I’m making basic errors in set ups etc but I will continue

Wow, really surprised to hear that you consider Sky's receiver picture better than Technomate Nano SE. I too have both, but am really blown away by sharper details from Nano se on my Panasonic tv compared to official Sky box.
Must agree with you on TS Media, nothing clearing for me either,I installed Kodi Direct and that's a total waste of time too.
I reckon IPTV is way overhyped.I bought a Droidbox with XBMC wizard installed and sent it back after a fews days of complete frustration. Servers are now consistently overloaded, especially at weekends when the whole world is trying to either watch live sport or stream a movie resulting in constant freezing/ buffering!
