Hi all !

Iam looking at buy a dbox 2 or a eurovox, and was hoping you guys could advise me on which would be the best buy, and the most easy to set up and update for a newbie in this field !

Iam on a telewest line living in bristol area, on the edge of south Gloucestershire.

Welcome to the forum - I would go for a DBox2, they can be setup for basic operation quite easily and have lots of extra features over and above what the Eurovox would do.

even the crappiest single chip sagem Dbox2 will kick the **** out of a eurovox in all departments

I am having problems with my Eurovox and looking for info is harder that the Dbox2. Seems Dbox 2 is much more supported. Just saying that my channels are scanning in - woot looks like problem could be solved as we speak

I would say the D-Box2 is the best option ATM - I prefer Nokia to Sagem

If you want a cable box what works like a cable box get a eurovox max with the updated firmware.

Works a treat, instant channel change, EPG, Almost plug and play, just scan for the channels and there you go.

Had mine a while and im very happy with it. Only thing that worries me is that these boxes are so well known that NTL just HAS to do something soon....

yep, i think VOD is the answer to these boxes, the only boxes to play VOD is the Dbox2, although a bit buggy, but i'm sure there will be somethong more solid in the near future,
