Can some one recommend a good cheap enigma 2 box.

I need at least 1 dvbs2 sat input, dvbt2 would be nice but not the end of the world.

It also needs a slot for an internal hard drive.

And I need OpenPli img to work.
 
looking at
seems that OpenPli would be no problem
great tuner quality, universal remote and wifi are some of the features
 
Chris go for the Xtrend ET9500 that WOS has on special offer. Its not the fastest box on the market but has 2 DVB-S2 tuners and can take either a 2.5" or 3.5" SATA HDD and it has Open Pli support as well as other image teams like Vix and OpenATV.

Its played every video format i've chucked at it and works well with a motor in Sat 1 and a 4 way DISEqC switch on Sat 2. I'm well chuffed with mine. Its also a nice big box so heat dissipation isn't a major issue like it is with the smaller boxes.

Tuner sensitivity doesn't seem to bad either for a linux based box.

£129 might be more than you want to spend but its well worth every penny in my opinion.

@Chris1979 I did not get it: are you looking for good or for cheap E2 box? :D And what are your criterias to define whether box is good or bad, and what does that mean "cheap" ?

I need ecm pid on the http stream, if you follow my meaning ;) so the cpu needs to be fast enough.

I need OpenPli support, and it has to have a hard drive slot.

I want to use some plugins and cams.

Yes, got that. What is "fast enough"? Fast enough to be able to stream?
And what do you mean cheap? :-lol
 
The, why do not look at
GigaBlue HD X3 ?
I like this brand, as I use couple of their products and pretty satisfied and happy about performance.
 
The Gigablue is a good box, I've had a few Gigablues and have never had any major issues with them. The only wobble was a few days ago when a power spike nearly killed my Gigablue HD 800Se.

As for the ET9500 i'm not sure about the ecm pid on the http stream bit as i've never used mine for that purpose. If your referring to the PVu stuff i use my TM5402HD for that :D

The ET9500 works great with virtually all emus available. It all depends on what you want. Its a lot of box for the money but as with everything if you want it cheap you may have to compromise on a few things.

OpenPli is just an image and can be installed on any E2 box. I had it installed on my GB Quad Plus and it worked. And, BTW, any image can provide more or less same capabilities.
