[QUOTE="Stofer, post: 758218, member: 189584"] Hi, After a few years of being a contented Comag Sl65 owner, the box finally bit the dust last month. Initially just wanting a basic FTA receiver i settled on a couple of the very cheap B & Q receivers. The first receiver was their SD(Ross) box which was £25 and the second was a HD box & dish kit (Tristar) for £70. The saying "you get what you pay for " certainly applied here as their software didn't cope with a motorised dish attached and one after another, they were returned. This has now left me with a gaping hole in my tv cabinet and the realisation that I may have to part with a bit of cash to get a decent receiver. I've narrowed my list down to two but wouldn't ignore any similar suggestions. After a bit of research I've decided that I would like some CI slots in case I want to upgrade, HD Capability and the ability to record to an external hard drive via USB. The model I have looked at is the technomate tm 5402 hd. It seems to do all I want it to and then some. Whilst doing my research and being a but of a feed hunter, i discovered that the AZ box decrypts 422 signals so this is the other box I am looking at. My question is..... Is the AZ box worth the extra expenditure for my requirements? I have noticed that both boxes seem to be set up for Card Sharing but I am not interested in that due to it's questionable legalilty. Any thoughts / recommendations would be most welcome. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
