[QUOTE="navi87, post: 1109551, member: 416587"] Thanks for the replies guys! Im not bothered about SX2 to be honest, it just seemed the more powerful receivers tend to have them tuners. I did some more digging around the forum after I posted up, and yeah, it seemed that SX2 was backwards compatible so I thought id try my luck with a "Zgemma-Star 1PCS/Lot ZGEMMA H9S SE Bulit In 300M Wifi DVB-S2X Multistream 4K UHD Support ZGEMMA H9S SE Satellite Receiver " that I found on aliexpress since the UK websites I found with such receivers had worse specifications, in particular the size of the NAND flash (256mb vs 16gb). The unit set me back 75.51 GBP and according to a Import Tax calculator I used, it might be another 15 GBP or so when it arrives. Lets see how that goes :D Ive been playing around with a raspberry pi for about 2-3 years now so I am pretty comfortable in the Linux environment, I am curious about what kind of Linux images will be on the device, hopefully Debian or something similar so it wont be a massive change for me regarding CLI commands. OK so no QT apps for these receivers but I would imagine I can still set up scripts/autostart for example, mounting NAS drives using fstab? I hope so lol. I also like the fact I can install Kodi onto it, I have a raspberry pi set up as a media server with a maria db SQL, so I can watch my FTA satellite channels and Kodi content all in one box.
