[QUOTE="garym71, post: 437720, member: 262344"] Hi Ollie, The reason that I'm swaying towards a transparent dish is because I have a South facing house and my only realitic option is to mount the dish directly on the front of the house so I'm not keen for a 90cm black or white dish there as it will be a complete eyesore. At least with a transparent dish it will (hopefully) not stand out quite so much. I'm not actually getting a floor stand as shown in that picture...just a wall mount. It was the only decent picture showing the transparent dish with multi-LNB's on it. I was looking at the Technomate 77552 because IMO it's a nicer looking box than the 1000 series models (I'm not really that keen on the round displays on of the 1000 series models) and it seemed to have a few more features for possibly being a more future proof option. When you talk about more software/support, what exactly do you mean? Isn't updated software/firmware in the box just supplied and available for download from the Technomate website? Is there some type of additional third-party "add-on" software that can be installed or something? Please excuse my ignorance but I don't really have any experience of FTA satellite receivers...only the bog standard Sky ones which are pretty much locked down anyway. I'm sure I'm going to have a few more questions before I actually place an order for any equipment because I do want to try and get it right first time if I can and not end up wasting money on something which isn't suitable for my needs. Thanks, Gary [/QUOTE]
