Hi,
I've been away from the satellite scene for maybe the last 4/5 years. Before that I was in to PC sat reception via sky star 2 and hauppauge nexus-s with prog dvb, softcam etc driving a 1 meter motorised dish. So then I got busy and less time for this, bought a cable box, no probs, 'tll it all changed recently.
Anyway, I was thinking of getting into the sat scene again, thought about buying the Dreambox 800 HD, which seem to be going for around the £200 mark (clones). I still have my 1m dish and this would be a good start for me to start tinkering again.
I wanted to ask is the DM 800 HD the best option for around the £200 mark, CS and net on tv sound good, any alternatives I should consider.
Don't need multiple tuners or PVR either, but wouldn't hurt. Just want a decent stable system that can drive my 1 meter dish, allow watching of HD, and the possiblity of CS and maybe things like YouTube.
Thanks.
