[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 835284, member: 301161"] Tivù, I'm not talking about any individual's budget, I'm talking in relation to a Linux receiver (this is the Linux forum after all). Post #1 mentions 150€ as a baseline figure and I am pointing out that 150€ is not a lot of money for a proper Linux HD receiver, compared to a few years ago when everything was in the 400€+ region. So what I am saying is if you are going to spend 150€ anyway you can either get a piece of non-standard luxury rubbish or a very basic, but very good quality Linux receiver that has a Broadcom processor and will run E2, which also means it has access to nearly every plugin out there. With a proper Linux box you have a 7 day program guide and a channel list that updates daily direct from the satellite, just like a Sky or Freesat receiver. And all these receivers are upgradable for recording just by pluging in a media device. With the luxury rubbish you only have proprietary software with very little hope of forwards compatibility once the manufacturer drops that model, and even before that point generally very little real support and a horrid user interface without self updating channel lists or 7 day EPG. Jenny, Enigma2 is a trademark of Dreambox. Most teams now refer to it as E2 due to some court cases over the use of the term Enigma in relation to satellite receivers. [/QUOTE]
