TM5200 super orTM5400 super whats the difference

[ukdave]

Bought a new tm5200 super a week ago just been to visit my son and got talking to his friend next door he said i would have been better of buying a 5400 as it is the more patchable of the two when i asked why he just went on about technical stuff did not come up with an answer i could relate to but i am new to this sat reciever thing so you lot know your stuff whats the difference between the two recievers is it just the card slot on the 5400 as i cant see any difference apart from that.
Just like to add i really like the 5200 and it has to be a good buy at the price they are being sold.
Thanks

Patchability is not a key point nowadays (If you'll excuse the unintended pun .............) as there is very little "open" as most Encryption systems are very secure indeed.

Yes the 5200 is a FTA only receiver.

The only difference between the two is that the TM5400 has a card slot and a CAM slot.

The sotware for both models is pretty much the same as far as I know, a card slot can be added as an extra to the TM5200.
