Hi Everyone!

I am torn between 2 digital receivers from Technomate: 1500CI and 1600 2CI.
The only difference between the 2 is one has 2CI and the other 1CI and 1 card reader.
My question is: What is better and why?

Better in which respect?
What are your criteria?
Picture quality?
Speed of channels search?
ability to be flashed?
The colour of the box?

i guess at end of the day it all comes down to what encryption type the receiver with 1 card slot has - and will it be of use to you

2 ci slots are a useful thing - i just decided to get my self an echostar 2100 ci (it got 2 ci slots and viaccess slot) - as some of you may know i've had ups and downs with regarding to satellite receivers

Hi, do you know any receiver with embedded Nagra2?
I've seen a receiver called Delta 2C by Fortec in Maplin but the people in the store has no ideia what is viaccess, Nagravision etc.
I would like to watch a brazilian channel and they use nagravision 2.
At the moment I am using my Sky box.
Thank you.
