Lemon 20s - any thoughts

In addition to Astra/Hotbird system, I have a Sly dogybox next to Stereo which is used mainly for radio channels, and sometimes fta. I'm tempted to replace this (to protect the environment - well that's my excuse) with something that doesn't continue to heat the room when switched off, and am thinking of the Lemon; then I could put a Diseqc switch and connect to the other dish as well. Anyone have a view on the box?

Not a bad box by all accounts. The 20s is patchable, but none of the others are AFAIK.

Support is 'patchy' if you'll excuse the pun, but a pretty good value for money STB based on the feedback I've read on several forums now.

Not sure what the manufacturer support is like. It looks like a shoebox, but who cares?
