[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1088868, member: 176704"] 1. the SX88 is, overall, probably the best bet because the TM is an old design of receiver with no official Technomate support whilst the Octagon has pretty decent on-going support [I](AND a lot of regularly-updated streamed internet content!) [/I]- but buy whichever from a reliable dealer rather than from ebay. 2. "Multi lnbs vs motor" - either receiver can handle both 3. Installing a motor - "easy" in theory [I][B]but[/B][/I], as will be seen from many threads on the forum, [I]NOT generally in practice[/I]! Thus, if all you want is 19E/16E/13E then a fixed dish (of the appropriate size!) with several LNB's is generally much simpler/quicker. Edit: [USER=393358]@4wd[/USER] 's comment about recording stations on one sat whilst watching a channel on another would require a more sophisticated receiver (thus read "expensive") with multiple tuners rather than an SX88-type single-tuner receiver (or at least AFAIK!)
