What is your definition of good support?
How many tuners are you after?

ie, image support, addons, plugins etc...preferably with sat and cable tuner ...

As you are aware, Blackhole is only made for the Vu range. You can check the PLi site for the ones they support.

At the price range you mentioned, you will be looking at the miraclebox range with pluggable tuners to allow flexibility.
There are also the Gigablue range with twin tuners.
For a bit more, you can go with a TM 3T combo. Your choice of images is limited. But it has been rock solid for me (Mind you it is a secondary receiver). Same CPU as Solo2.

There is also a receiver in the classifieds which should be fine for you.

The zgemma boxes take some beating with openatv. All the support you need and more!

Agree mate great price and rock solid thus far. Given they are officially supported by open atv, opendroid and italysat is a real bonus. open atv is very good.

Yes just brought a ZGEMMA-STAR 2S looking forward to giving it a whirl...
Reading up on it on other forums it's got great reviews for such a cheap twin tuner box and takes genuine ATV images so can be updated inbox,plus modded Vix and other teams...
Selling on fleabay for £95 but I found a UK shop doing them for £77..just had to get one..

That's the place mate..I have edited your non link link...but a search for mobishop will get you there...
And £20 cheaper than fleabay..I contacted that seller today to ensure the boxes they sell are 100% genuine Air digital boxes and not clones as yes believe it or not they have been cloned and these clones are the ones that have watch and record problems..and they confirmed they are the genuine Air digital item..another good thing is you can pay via PayPal and do the 2 week payment hold so your completely protected now..

sorry AJT.

a few mates bought from mobi and they seem legit. got mines from china and they are v good so far but time will tell.

Hey no need for sorry mate...yes mines from them also it just gets you thinking when they are 20 quid cheaper than elsewhere....great for us though..a twin tuner running genuine images for £76..remote is meant to be great as well...
