Hi guys,

Just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

I have a 60cm dish that i have pointed at 19.2 which i only want access to FTA stuff. Currently its plugged into my Lg Tv as it has a DVB-S tuner built in. I'm fast finding the limitations of the setup and am keen to get back into the European tv game (having previously sold all my equipment). Below i have summarised what requirements i have for a FTA box and i'm wondering if someone could suggest a box for me. I have tried a ROSS FTA box but found the UI awful.

- FTA (no need for a CI slot as i never plan to use CAM's etc)
- PVR compatible either via an internal HDD or a USB drive
- Single tuner (no need for 2)
- HD
- Reasonable cheap as i'm only starting out again, can upgrade later.

The system at present is a static system fixed at 19.2 which i want to access Space Night which used to be on BR-Alpha but i believe it is now on BR-SUD ??

Thanks in advance.

Ben

The Technomate TM 5402 is a decent box that ticks your requirements

am using a vu solo se i would go for an e2 box, the zero would be a good choice remember with an e2 box you can still get your plugins youtube/tsmedia etc so can do much more than the basic box ,the 5402 is a good box too but limited compared to a e2 box
