Personally I would go for the Twinhan starboxII, as far I know its the only USB reciever that supports USB2. This is required for high bitrate HDTV ETC. But if are never going to be interested in HDTV then the skystar USB is probably the best suppoerted box around.

Will Twinhan starboxII support 'patched' softwares?

Twinhan and Technisat are the 2 best supported brands by the comunity, you sould have no major snags with either one.

Cant see that one on there, but it looks pricey to me.

Highly recommended company.
