Hi, I'm new here and I am interested to buy a new reciever. Can someone tell me which is the latest technomate reciever and which is the one that is most friendly to use and supported. thanks rgds king

For SD the latest is the TM3000 series I believe, (3100,3300?,3200,3400)

Not sure what the difference is between that series and the 5000 series which is more popular (5200,5300,5400)

For HD it is the TM6800 or TM6900.

I have a TM1000 and a TM6800, the user interface on them is near identical,as far as I know so is the 5000 series. Both the 1000 series and 6000 series are very easy to use. I have never opened the manual for either of them.

The TM1000's are a joy to use. Nicely designed good picture quality and easy to use even for beginners.

I did have a TM4100 for a while as well, but it was a totally different beast. Nowhere near as easy to use - its gone to a new home now giving the fta channels off 28E to one of my work pals.
