    My System: None yet

    Any Sky compatible receivers out there?

    Hi all

    I am looking for a receiver which does the following things:
    • DiSEqC support (4 LNBs)
    • 3 or 4 CAMs
    • Sky card keep alive (to avoid having to stick it back into the Sky box every so often)
    • PVR
    • Dual tuner
    • HD support
    Any suggies?

    I heard that only Linux based receviers can keep a Sky card alive. Is that true?

    Thanks.

    My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S, GDS 7000HD

    Thats going to be a tough call to get all those aspects in one receiver.

    The Linux boxes are indeed the only ones that will keep a Sky card alive.

    I'd say one of the new Dreambox's is what you need.

    Have a look at the DM-800, I think its just a single tuner though.

    Or the eagerly awaited DM-8000, (nice but pricey). It will have 2 tuners.

    Yes, Using a softcam like CCcam can keep the card alive.

    What about Abcom ipbox9000hd. There is a lot of development going on for this box, new images appearing very regularly. Twin plug n play tuners allowing recording of 2 hd channels while viewing hd recordings from the hard disk. Check out this review from Dr Dish. Fancy one myself now. Lol

    What is a "Dual Tuner" in your opinion?
    I think you meant TWIN tuner.......
