To be honest I have a Spiderbox 9000 combo along with a TM5302 and TM5402 and find very little difference between the 5402 and Spiderbox. They are both well made receivers, both of a high build quality and both work well. The remote with the 9000 combo (also the 9000 but not the 7000) is a really great one and can be programmed to operate Spiderbox/VCR/DVD/TV.
The 5302 is really a "budget" version of the 5402 and not quite up to the standard of the Spiderbox or TM5402 but still a very nice simple to use receiver.
It's a case of swings and roundabouts all receivers have their good and not so good points, what you like in one receiver may be missing from another receiver and the reverse is also true.
I like and use all my receivers and all do a great job!!
I have owned both spiderbox and Technomate 5402HD. I find Techno much easier to update, especially for personalising channel lists.
It's the Techno remote that's crap compare to the Spiderbox. Reminds of those great old looking Italian sports cars with their jumbled up and confusing dashboards:eh?:
