Hi,
Looking to pickup an Xtrend ET5000 for around £200 as an alternative to Dreambox DM500 HD. With the DM500 HD seen some advertised at £180 and others over the £300. With all the talk of far east clones I reckon the cheapers ones must be the clones.
There are couple of question I have with regard to the Xtrend: -
1.) How good is it compared to the DM500 HD?
2.) How good is it's PVR capability - on a par with the Dreambox?
3.) As it has USB2 port which is a lot slower than eSata and as such will it be able to record 1080i content to a connected USB2 drive without issues.
What do you guys think of the ET5000? Anybody else got an alternative to the DM500 HD that they can recommend?
Thanks
