The Kathrein UFS910 that also satellitesuperstore sells is one of the best HD receivers right now to a affordable price.

If you are going to use it exclusively for watching Sky channels, then go for the Sky HD receiver, as it has many functions the other units do not have, the 7 day EPG and series link recording amongst them.

Certainly go for a receiver with two tuners.
