Hi,

I am looking for a dual (satellite) tuner box. I have looked at the Miraclebox Premium Mini HD or Technomate-Nano 2T which are around the same price.

On paper the Miraclebox seems higher spec (750Mhz processor, 512 Flash, 512DDR) whilst the Technomate has 405Mhz Processor, 256 Flash and 384 DDR). However I think I have seen a review that said the TM was faster than the miraclebox?

The TM is suppose to have an upscaler for SD channels? Does the Miraclebox (or other enigma2 devices have the same)?

Is one better than the other? Or should I be looking at something else entirely?

Which is the best image (what are the pro/cons of differant firmware?)

I have googled various options, but I am more confused than when I started.

I am looking for an enigma2 box.
Option of a 7 day EPG,
Ability to record one channel whilst watching another (is this a twin tuner)
Optical Sound out.

Budget is flexible - (but dont want to spend more than I need to). What would others recommend?

Hi All,

Recently looking for a STB for a tv in a new extension. I have a Humax Freesat box in the main room. In the extension I would like to get box that can receive the same FTA channels, and stream media (as per XBMC or similar).

I have googled the subject, but am just getting more confused., which ones I should look at and which ones I should avoid like a plague. I am flexible on price.

I would like box that works simlar to a standard STB, with a decent EPG - to suit the less technically inclined members of the family.

I would like to be able to record from the EPG, similar to my freesat box.

Do I need a combi box? or a box that can also run XBMC (or should I consider using a STB and a seperate XBMC reciever).

Do I need OScam support?

Can anyone make any recommendations?
