Nice looking

and gets all its channel information daily from Lyngsat based on your dish size and location, very convenient.

There are no plans to make it possible to install new software on it however.

It's also Made in Sweden and not in Asia as most other receivers are made in today.

I am very tempted to buy one but it's alot of money for a box.

Nice! Like the OLED display

It has 2 CI slots, but does it have a card reader?

It was reviewed on Dr Dish Tv.
They weren't too impressed.
"Too many bugs",was one of their comments.
