[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 174960, member: 175057"] There are so many out there, that it is difficult to recommend one single unit. The biggest factor with digital receivers for the hobbyist, is that there is ongoing unofficial support for software patches, if you are computer savvy, then the baby Dreambox 500Si gives you bundles of capability, is well supported and can be updated over your home network, but is around £140 from DVB-Shop24 one of our banner advertisers. The Technomate has been jockied into a very high position in the popularity stakes, by good unofficial software support and a gang of somewhat suspiciously zealous and hyperactive cross forum cheerleaders. It is nonetheless a good buy at under £100 ;) Have a look at the receivers on [URL="http://www.dvb-shop24.net/index.php/cat/c14_FTA-Receiver.html"]this page[/URL] most of them are patchable and although it is not one of the requirements you have asked for, it is probably something you will want when the hobby starts to bite. :) [/QUOTE]
