My System: no setup
which one from these 2 is a better receiver/dish system?

Hello

I was wondering is STRONG or OPTICUM a better system (receiver+dish)?
In my town they sell these two brands so I was wondering what should I choose?

They have different models like:
strong 6006, 6016
opticum 4000 4050.

what's your recommendation?

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 you will be unlikely to find many who have experience of both receivers, I haven't even heard of Opticum.

What do you want to receive.

Sounds more like a misguided pearl necklace than a receiver

Well, they are all low budget sub 50 euros FTA satellite receivers, so I wouldn't have thought it would matter too much really.
It might be worth a check through the specifications to compare them, in case one is slightly better than the others.
