This box can do 95% of what the Dreambox and is great value for money. I run a 320gb hard disk in mine and the software is getting better and better.

tm9100.co.uk is a great resource for this box

I setup a dish for a guy with one of those - it looked nice, but he'd botched an upgrade so it wasn't working at the time.

I did consider getting one, but I need blind scan which I don't think is supported in the 9100.

Hi,

I am interested in getting one of these boses, where did you get yours from?

I am also interested in getting a 90cm motorised dish to go with the Technomate 9100 box, would I be able to purchase all this kit from where you purchased your box from?

Many thanks for any info that you can provide.
