I've posted something in the general Which Receiver Would You Recommend forum, but I wonder if it would be better asked here as I don't really want to start looking at Dreamboxes, etc.
I want to get a 2nd box that has component RGB output, a softcam emulator & a reasonable channel list. I setup Eagleboxes for a few people a couple of years ago & the channel list was awful, so something that I can edit on a PC or just download would be better.
I've found the Openbox/***box systems and some look they'd do the trick, but there seem to be quite a few different models with very little obvious real difference. The main ones that I've been looking at are the S9, F3, F3S, and X5. Any suggestions on which I should go for? They all seem similar price, but are there any to avoid, prone to freezing, PSU/tuner failure, any that have better picture quality, better remote, that kind of thing?
