Hi

It depends what you want to do with box, if just to watch telly and you want it nice and easy I`d go for a kryptview, of course there could be other views on this.

Hi

Just to let you know you will still have to flash with latest software as all boxes are shipped as fta boxes, also you will need a hard drive for that.
