Re: new reciever ?? under £80 quid
Have a look at the Vantage or Technomate. I don't know a lot about the Vantage myself but you will need to ask SatSid about that as hes the current resident Vantage expert on the Forum
 Hes happy with his so it can't be a bad receiver  The Technomate is also a good buy aswell as there is loads open on it at the moment. Its easy to use and easy to patch to open up all those lovely freebies  Nano

Re: new reciever ?? under £80 quid
If you could find an extra £30 odd quid. The TM9100 is a very capable box. Its running Linux, and is in many ways similar to the Dreambox...

Cheapskate! Got the TM1000D myself ( think I paid £55), very pleased with it, but wish I'd gone for the TMS 1500 CI +, but I was being a cheapskate.

Re: new reciever ?? under £80 quid
Whatever you go for, you will wish you had gone just that bit farther.
Decide what you want to do and then get the kit to do it. It saves a lot of time and money in the long run.
