Different receivers?

Can anyone tell me the difference between a Sat Catcher Voyager 3 box and a Technomate 1500 and also which one is the better?

The Sat Catcher seems more expensive but i've heard the Technomate is the better box?

Regards,

Lee

My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.

Unfortunately very few members will have used both receivers, so don't expect a flood of replies.

I have used both and in my opinion the Satcatcher is a superior receiver, but the Technomate has more support on software patches.

My System: Technomate TMS-1500 CI+ "patched" receiver, 90cm p/f 36v motorised dish, Inverto C120 0.3db LNB, Moteck V-Box 2, Packard Bell 6052 XP Home computer, Toshiba A60 laptop, and lots of Russian Vodka !

The Technomate is easy very to use, never used a Sat Catcher so cant say.

The Technomate has both, as for the Sat Catcher look for the specs.
