    Hi all,


    I'm looking to upgrade after my old tm 500 super went bust last week.


    I don't really know much about satellite receivers, I only got the last one because someone installed it a few years ago. But I want to learn as much as I can and I hope you guys can help.


    I have about £150 to spend - maybe more of there is something decent just outside my price range. It can be new or second hand, i don't care.


    Hope you can help me learn all I need to know!

    Thanks codar!


    Could you let me know what to look for when picking a satellite receiver? I don't really know much at all.


    Is that the best satellite around for this money or is there a better one for a bit more?

    Opinions differ but I would go for a mips based receiver.
    Enigma2 was designed for this type of receiver.
    Obviously more memory, speed , tuners etc = more money
    I suppose you have to decide exactly what you want from it, record one channel while watch another, if you want to run a card in it and use it as a server, Internal or external hdd.
    Vu are good build quality.
    Mut@nt are the new kid doing exciting things.
    There is a lot to choose from really.
    Have a look on the sponsors website and anything you don't understand, just ask.
