Hi all
A friend of mine is thinking of getting a cheap openbox for 60 or 70 euros , i spotted the normal v8s or f8s or whatever its called as a possibility but then came across the combo version of this model which is the combo v8 with sat and terrestrial tuners .
Anybody know anything about them whether they are good , bad or a load of rubbish . he is not looking for anything special . i cant find the processor on the specs to see if its the same as the standard v8s satellite reciever or not....
Should i run a mile from these boxes as i dont see much about them anywhere....thanks

You won`t get anything special for that price. It has closed firmware, so the functionality will be limited. You would need to spend at least 100 quid at the sponsors to get a decent enigma2 combo linux receiver.
This is what i would recommend:
Edision OS MINI 1x DVB-C/T2 + 1x DVB-S/S2 Linux Enigma 2 Combo Tuner Digital Receiver HD 1080p PVR - £ 99

Thanks master G
but he had a look at my boxes and reckons they are too complicated with the e2 and all that jazz so wants something simple to get the terrestrial and the @@@ channels so he was going to get a v8s but i spotted this and wondered if it was any good for a little bit more money than the v8s as it has the extra tuner ...havent heard anything much on this forum about these boxes which worries me . he might be better stick to the v8s rather than this one then and watch the terrestrial through his normal tv .....thanks anyway -
definatly worth going few extra quid for an enigma2 2 reciever,
and when setup right its very straight forward to use, -
znegma box 70£ or go technomate at sponsor

i agree with yee all as i have an enigma 2 reciever myself , i was just wondering if anyone had come across the openbox V8 Combo instead of the standard V8S Box but i guess they are pretty rare which may mean they arent up to much if many people dont have them but correct me if i am wrong...thanks

thank's Master , it was the answer I was looking for

Thanks for all the good advice about other boxes but i was hoping to get a bit of info about this box thats why i put it in the openbox section originally but judging by the feedback , i would say nobody has this box or possibly never even knew it existed which makes me think it probably isnt that popular and i will probably end up telling my buddy to steer clear of it and go for one of the boxes mentioned above....thanks again ....
