Azbox Premium ???

[Rick]

Hi, Looking to upgrade my reciever as I need to add sat to another room, and have fancied a new reciever for a while, so I plan to move my existing Fortec Zeta, and replace it with something good. While I don't have a HDTV yet, I do have a pretty good 42 Plasma which gives a great SD picture, and I think that I will probably upgrade this in the near future, so may as well get a HD reciever. Looking at the Azbox Premium being at the top end of my budget, but would welcome any suggestions from peoples experience. Hopefully I'll be talking to southern sat tomorrow and getting something ordered !Cheers Rick.

this box is looking very attractive to me atm

Im looking at getting a HD upgrade for my tm9100 this year and its the right spec/price

from what read the emu is not quite there yet will this be your first linux receiver ?

Yes, so far I am a Linux Virgin. The AzBox is still in beta form, so it's a work in progress. It is pretty certian, from what I've read, that when finished it will be a very capable reciever especially when you consider the cost. Southern Sat couldn't sort me a Premium until end July, so for various reasons I have opted for a TM500 to be going on with. Hopefully it will arrive today, though I did get the cat5 and dish feed in in preperation yesterday.
