i'd recommend a krytpview m8
once theyve been flashed and scanned all the channels are in the same order as a subbed box so no need to mess about arrangind channels, and they automatically scan in stand by mode so no need to ever do a fresh scan and the picture qualitys much better on my 37" lcd.
also very simple to use.
ive been using eurovoxes for over 2 years and the krypview is much simpler to use,
spiecally for a couple in their 70s

Ive had aEurovox for two and half years and never had a problem, got a maxV from "lincsat last week and it seems better than ever, plug in and its going in minutes

Billo

Try a Eurovox mate they are pretty much idiot proof so you will have no problems with them apart from the odd firmware update or if your after a better system then try the one ronster suggested

Have an EV myself and it's great but . . . .

With the recent key changes the Kryptview had it's fix out before any other box. It's made in the UK, the software is developed in the UK and it's specifically designed for the UK (and now also the Irish) market.

The EV is great, as I said its the one I have, but its made in the far east, the software is developed I don't know where?? and the box we get is designed to for the European market. I could be wrong on this
