Folks,

Thinking of purchasing a cable box but im unsure of which one. All boxes have their pro's and cons. Starview's quite popular as well as the well supported Dreambox. Not to mention the new box on the bloc Itgate.

Also considering possible upgrades our friendly VM company are doing, possible moving to nagra 2/3. Nagra 2 doesn't seem to be a problem and Nagra 3 from what I'm hearing isnt that big of a deal it actually limits what VM can do as far as ECM's and keyrolling.

Which of the Boxes would you choose as far as futur proofing as what the ITgate claims to do and possibly the dreamboxes to.
