[QUOTE="wolsty, post: 779411, member: 175166"] I'd really welcome some advice from linux box users. I've spent a lot of time reading up on linux receivers and what they can do, but must confess to still being a bit confused. Dreambox seems to be the gold standard, but it's out of my price range and I've been looking closely at the Openbox S10 and the Eagle Box. My wife, having run out of Christmas present ideas for me, has offered to buy me an STB and the two above are well within the price she'd be willing to pay. Having read some alarming stories about cloned boxes, I wonder whether the Openbox and Eagle box would be safe options. Also, I have fallen in love with Ubuntu and would enjoy tinkering with the stb's linux programming? Could I do this on Openbox and Eagle Box? Or is there a better option? :confused: [/QUOTE]
