[QUOTE="joddle, post: 888286, member: 247983"] Rather than having to trawl though all the threads for opinions and specs for all the various receivers for use on the fringe, I have asked for a sticky so we can post our thoughts and ideas in one place which is easy to find. Also as new products and sats come and go, we can keep the information updated for anyone starting out on fringe reception or wanting to update their equipment. For my own twopennyworth, I use Freesat for the convenience; more than anything else. For that I have been using a Humax Foxsat HD which has worked really well here in Valencia - that is apart from a failure due to the use of inferior capacitors in the power supply, but that was easily fixed. I have also been using one of the cheap Manhatten HD boxes, not it is not as sensitive as the Humax although works pretty well here. I also use a couple of aged Pace 2600C Sky boxes (without any cards) and have found these to be the most reliable receivers I have ever come across but of course they wont work on HD altough produce good SD. What I really need is a reliable Freesat HD box for use further south of here where reception is not as good - something as good as the Humax for sensitivity - any ideas? Some of thes points will have been answered elsewhere but this is an attempt to bring all the information together under a single sticky thread. [/QUOTE]
