The TM1500CI+ is one of the better receivers to get - unless you want to go for a Dreambox or other Linux based receiver.

I am looking for a simple set up nothing to complicated or exspensive, what is the difference between the dreambox & the TM1500 ?? Is it a better box or has it got more features is it easy to set up, At the moment I am using the box from my caravan which is a sle 65/12 with no slot for a card.

I would say the TM1500 is easier to setup (cheaper too), you can do a lot more with the Dreambox and TM9100 as they are Linux boxes.

I bought a echolink 777 patched, on ebay. Can watch all premier matchs free on astra 19.2. Well chuffed. This box auto updates premier channels on 19.2.
