[QUOTE="jfrusc1, post: 1086951, member: 414864"] I've been looking around and fortunately it looks like prices have dropped considerably since I got her the VU Duo. There are a few decent boxes sub £100 now. The Octagon SF8008 was recommended on another thread, but it doesnt have a CI slot. Zgemma H9 Twin is an option, but a little put off by it being a chinese box. Not sure about reliability. Also I spoke to World of Sat who suggested the H7S might be better with a motor. Mutant HD51 is also viable, but can't find it new or second hand. And its replacement doesnt appear to have a CI slot. Ideally want twin tuner (to future proof), PVR functionality and ability to stream would be good (although she'll be the only user). Not sure Skylink offer 4k and to be honest I doubt she'd sub as we have Sky Q 4K, Netflix and Prime to cover that (and can't see Skylink producing much 4k content worth paying for). But given the competitive prices of the Zgemma/etc thinking it may just be worth going for one of these 4k boxes for the snappy performance and HW overhead for the future. Put a wanted thread here and on another forum and keeping an eye on eBay. But if nothing turns up I guess i'll have to buy a new one, probably the H7S or H9 Twin. [/QUOTE]
