[QUOTE="Artemis, post: 142468, member: 197197"] I am also looking for a new Rx I can tell you what NOT to buy 1. Manhattan 550 (I can only asume the others in the range are similar) possibly the worst picture I have ever seen. I thought I have a faulty one, but after talking to the importer and the dealer I realised that that was as good as it gets! 2. Dreambox 7020-S Crashes too much, even using the origional software. DiSEQc never works properly. Pitifully bad tuner. The one I had would only manage to find about half the channels on a satellite, signal strengh dropped to less than 50% on transponders and no lock (even on Astra2 with 80cm Lenson Heath and 0.2dB LNB!) If I put my old Nokia9600 on the same dish same transponder i get 95+% signal perfect picture. I have been recommeded the Samsung DSB-A200C [URL="http://www.tracsat.co.uk/catalog/samsung-dsba200c-p-31.html"]http://www.tracsat.co.uk/catalog/samsung-dsba200c-p-31.html[/URL] and also the Echostar 890 but I have heard conflicting reports as to its compatibility with a Dragon CAM lest us know what you decide on [/QUOTE]
