[QUOTE="billnot, post: 89486, member: 176016"] Sorry to disagree, zansi, but the 2600 is definitely the better performer in this fringe area (the Costa Blanca) and, as such, fetches a premium over the DS430N for a used model. I ask, and get, 20 Euros more, and, even then, I have a waiting list even though I sell *new* DS430Ns at only 60 Euros more. However, I agree that the statement that the DS430N is "no good in Spain" is rubbish - it's the best *new* box for the area, and, after the 2600 C1 the best box of all time. I've run side by side tests of the two boxes running off the same (quad) LNB from a 2,4m dish in two "problem" situations. On Channel 4, which is weak between 1500 and 1600 GMT, the 2600 "stayed in" with no blocking or other artefacts where the DS430N was unwatchable for at least 30 minutes. Also, on BBC 2 England, which we lose after about 1900 GMT, the 2600 retained the signal for a further 15 minutes over the DS430N. Not a great deal, but it definitely happened. So, to the the original poster kathekas, buy your DS430N with confidence - it will probably serve you well. [/QUOTE]
