[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1084892, member: 176362"] The M3 is a decent and cheap little box. HOWEVER it does suffer from bugs in the firmware. eg - Certain satellites get filled up with DOZENS of out of beam or useless dead transponders if you even just do a basic tp scan. You cant rename any channels - your changes get overwritten the next time you scan a satellite....... Some encrypted channels lock my current receiver solid (even with a valid subs card & cam in the box) - the only way to recover is flick the main power switch on ther back The epg is flaky in the extreme on my receiver. More often then not it doesnt display and the box has stopped automatically updating the time/date from the tps after its been off Plus updates both official & unofficial for the firmware ceased years ago, and you cant watch multistream on it Despite these issues I far prefer it to the hideous interfaces on the E2 boxes. Ive given up battling with E2 - life is too short to waste hours fecking around trying to work out wtf is going on with them. I took great delight slinging my Vu+Duo very hard into the recycling skip down at the local council tip :D [/QUOTE]
