outstandish

please could anyone help?
am totaly new to satellite am looking to get my first system having browsed this great forum am thinking of gettin fortec star 5100 ultra due to its ability to be patched and freeview capabilities however have seen many recomendations for technomate 1500ci+ which seems to work better with dragon cam (seems to be the best)
whats the score regarding avalibility of patches, sound/picture quality, ease of updating etc
