I think I am going to replace our old Thomson Box, which is the best box to go for?

Amstrad all the way! I replaced a Thomson with one and it's great.

Amstrad is good - haven't had any issues with my 890 one.

Thanks for the info guys! Do you know of any decent suppliers online for the Amstrad?

Cheers

I didn't think there was much choice of manufactures these days? It's more down to what hard disk size you want.

The size of the Thomson hdd would be fine, I think that would be 500gb?

Thommy's are notorious for the power supply capacitors blowing. If yours hasnt been upgraded its a miracle its still operational!
