Hello all,

If you have the time, can you pls rank (as per your own view, experience, etc) the top 10 digital receivers. The reason I am asking is that where I come from (an eastern European country) there are several brands on sale which I have never heard of, but they are trated as top-range gear and of course carry a top-range price.

The criteria for the above ranking is just for the receiver to be able to have a slot for an original NOVA card. This is a Greek package on Hotbird and is encrypted with irdeto-2. I will be getting an original (authentic) Nova card and of course will be paying my subscriptions.

What confuses me is that if for instance, I have a Humax 5400 with Common Interface embedded irdeto, and a Conditional Access Module, which slot will I be using in order to insert the Nova card. Will I be using the CI slot and the package will be decoded right away, or will I have to buy an irdeto CAM for the Nova card so that I use the CAM slot.

In other words, when I purchase a receiver, what should I be looking for - an embedded CI module, or a CAM?

Finally, have any of you heard of a receiver called ESPECTA? They treat this here as the best there is out there! What about SKYVIEW?

Thanks for your help.
