[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1005780, member: 176704"] The Freesat V8 Super just turned up (on time via RM for a change) First impressions: - More substantial rectangular metal case, unlike the curved top of the Opensat, so other things can be parked on top of it - Better written and clearer manual - states 10,000 TV & Radio channel capacity, but no mention of processor speed - 10mb/s Ethernet instead of 100mb/s on the Opensat - seems to confirm that this might have a slower processor than the Opensat. - Different remote with TV control facility - looks more promising than the Opensat one. - No batteries - again! Supplier's pics are [URL='http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132040877121']here,[/URL] and it appears to look like those. Now to hook it all up and see how (well) it works - probably say something more later in the afternoon/evening as I have a webinar to watch, and then some gardening (and re-laying some cables to the dishes & SDR antenna!).
