SkyStar 2, but I could not live without my Technomate 1500ci since well I've yet to figure out Diseqc or USALS with the SkyStar 2.

18 months of having it and still ain't figured that out.

Humax HDCI-2000 is a nice receiver whatever anyone says, it shows HD from Astra 1 and Hotbird and that's all that matters right now.

I can only really go for the Skystar 2 and the Technomate 1000D Super as they are the only ones I have ever owned or used

Both pretty easy to use especially the TM the SS2 is a little more difficult but that is due to software codecs and computers in general rather than the actual hardware

Definitely the Dreambox and SS2 PCI card. The two work beautifully together. It's no competition.

crossbones · 30-08-07, 05:14 PM

Yes Dreambox all the way! Best i have owned so far.

I also have a skystar 2 card but yet to install it.

Oh so many things to do, not enough time

I have just made a new topic, otherwise this thread would get out of hand if everyone started listing all the receivers that they'd ever had :roflmao:
