Do I need a Linux receiver? If so, which?

[QUOTE="TheToad, post: 869580, member: 341436"] The time has come to replace our receiver, ideally with a HD model. I've heard of these Linux receivers, but the truth is, I don't know what they are capable of and therefore if i even need one. I've read various articles around the web and they often say "most of what these boxes do cannot be discussed here" - very useful. Do people tend to buy them more for these 'educational' functions than anything else? So, what can they do that is legal but is different to other boxes? For example, can I manage my channels list or maybe set up my satellites on my motorised system from a PC rather than taking bleedin' hours using the remote? Could I stream TV through the LAN so we can watch it in another room on another device? What else can we do? Moreoever, which box should we get? There's an old thread on here, but maybe there's some new boxes? I did read about some offerings from Technomate, but these often come with really nasty reviews. Our budget is about £150, but could stretch to £200. Many thanks in advance once again! I've learned a lot from this forum over the last few years! [/QUOTE]
