If you're not into feed hunting, then you could get a Dreambox and a V-Box to convert the DiseqC commands to 36v.

Whatever you choose will depend on what your viewing preferences are.

Go for the simple, easy option. Cheap Technomate patched box + v-Box.

Whilst a 'cheap' Technomate is a very good option, some V boxes cost almost as much as the receiver. Bit annoying really.

Yes, but not surprising, as they have more expensive hardware, not just a low power motherboard and cheap chip.

Good point although I've yet to get any channels on a V-Box.

I was in the same position last week, the Horizontal to Verticle switching went, so visited Ebay and got a replacement, the AD3000IP's go for £50-£80 on there.

Good luck.
