Well, I don't know the exact details involved with any of these points, and I'm continuing off the topic here, but I would strongly recommend you don't get my model, or maybe any recent Technomate. They may have been a good manufacturer a few years ago, but buggy firmware and poor support is the situation with my model. Not just my opinion by the way, others feel the same on another forum I visit.* There is no doubt at all in my mind that I would never buy another Technomate receiver.elmin said:I'd planned on upgrading to an S2/MPEG-4 HD combo box like yours if they decided to go that route, but for no other reason.
I hear Humax are quite well regarded.
However it seems to me that most if not all satellite receivers suffer from bugs and sub standard builds, presumably due to the rush to bang out the next big thing before their competitors.
* In the interests of balance however, others there consider the model 'beautiful' and 'superb'. Beats me.
