[QUOTE="cjgall, post: 28987, member: 175963"] Hi Rob, The Lemon is a great buy and made in Germany which is usually a good thing in terms of quality. They do have even cheaper receivers than the 07 CI, the 01 CI starts at around 129 euro's (139 euro's with RF modulator) here in Holland. I don't know if the Lemon's lower signal strength/quality on the graphic bars actually means anything in real terms.
