Which receiver? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I currently have the dm500s but with it's limited memory, problems with motors and it being enigma1 I thought I would get advise on what else is out there.

I need a box that can cardshare and that is linux based (purely for flexability) and easier epg options, I may consider HD and pvr options but not too important.
My budget is around £300 ( I know this may not get me HD)

Thanks

It must be fate as my box decided to restart itself ever 20 seconds. I tried restoring a backup and also another psu without success.

Take a look at the Icecrypt S4000 twin tuner HD can C/S and comes with or without a HDD from £279

Hey Pal

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I had a quick google about the icecrypt and there isn't much info about them so makes me think they are not well supported.
What images can you load on these and where can you get them from?

Its the same as an Octagon SF1018 I have PM'ed you a link for the support site, It does not take images as this is what a Dreambox does

Ah o.k, I though all linux based receivers took images, I'll take a look at the link.

Thanks
