I've had this receiver for about a week now after previously owning a Spiderbox for nearly a year and so far very pleased it.
Techno is much more stable, not had to reboot once yet, whereas Spiderbox kept disconnecting regularly.
HD and SD picture quality is excellent on both receivers, but channel change on Techno is much, much faster.
Channel editing is also much more user friendly, although OSD display on Techno looks very dated( I used to have a TM 1000D)and it doesn't seemed to have changed much at all.
Some people have complained about noisy fan on Techno but I can't hear it during viewing and you also have option to turn it off from menu should it bother you.
Receiver runs very cool, whereas Spiderbox ran hot even on an open cabinet.
My only real gripe of Technomate is positioning of some of the buttons on remote control. FAV and EPG buttons are tiny and I think should have been isolated from other buttons as I use them all the time.I pity anone with stubby fingers!!!
