[QUOTE="k_dermot, post: 773290, member: 373983"] Can anyone give me some advice on choosing a new receiver as I am quite new to this? Essential requirements --------------------- HD Motor control (will also purchase this at the same time) Less than £100 - lower is better Desirable requirements (in order of preference) --------------------- Blind scan (do I really need this?) Manage channels list on PC via USB EPG (ideally 7 day) USB PVR record (single channel being watched is fine) Scheduling of recording Network connectivity (Ethernet) Teletext I have been looking at the HDTV HD V8 800S2 and the Metabox HD CXCI and both seem well spec'd. I am not sure about the blind scan function or if I really need it? I don't have a motor yet but will order one at the same time and I am interested in receiving FTA channels only. Is there anything else I need to consider? Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
