Possibility to switch HTPC for QBox

Ok I'm at the point that I'm thinking of getting rid of my HTPC and replacing it with a Qbox

The functionality of Vista & DVB -S2 using DVB-Bridge/Dvb Viewer etc is just a pain to constantly tweak plus I made the initial mistake of purchasing a Technotrend DVB-S2 3650ci which has terrible support.

The sats I want to receive at a min are Thor 1w plus HD Channels, and some channels from Hotbird 13. I know that conax is the encryption of the channels I want which I know the Qbox can decrypt as it has an imbeded Diablo Cam.

My only worry is - how stable / user friendly is a Qbox, will this solve my frustration. Is there a different box you would suggest.

Qbox is new, come back in 3-6 months.

Also consider A-Z Box HD and Dreambox 800/8000.

Freeview HD maybe starting soon, so box with DVB T2 is a good idea if you are in range.
