Hello all, wanting some advice please.
I'm after buying a Receiver but need help in choosing one that has good support and not likely to let me down.
My brother has a DM800, which has treated him well for a long time and rarely hits a snag.
I know some people prefer "Open Source" firmware receivers, but lets be honest most don't require that, as-long as you get patches every now and then, fantastic!.
I would like the receiver to have at-least the option of:
* Support newcmd/mgcamd
* HD 1080p/i
* EPG Guide
* Youtube access (not too bothered really, but handy to have).
* Stream links? (Not a biggie)
* Network sharing to stream Media via Windows Shares.
* USB Media Playback.
* Network PVR Recording aswell as-well as USB Recording obviously.
* Optical output (Dolby Digital 5.1)
Around £100 or less i will happily pay.
I live in a area where i get 100% signal simply by just having my small Sky Digi dish at about 6 foot in the air . Although iv'e got it bolted in at about 12 foot on the brickwork.
Once I get a dreambox and it's working all hunky dory I will go out and purchase a motorized dish, the same or similar to what my brother uses.
So please, if you have any good advice on which are good receivers that are worth purchasing, then let me know.
Please don't just come out with "I herd this Cryptobox is good" etc... thanx!
