choosing a decent satalite reciever

Hi I'm a newbie looking for help an knowledge, I'm looking for a satalite receiver, I would like a good reliable hd 1 capable of 1080 and 3d as I have a 3d tv any help will be appreciated

 

blade 7000. nice piece of kit around the same price for some poorer boxes

 

i keep reading about this box have you got any info on this mate

 

twin tuner meaning you can record one thing and watch another. media player that plays avi,s mkv and a whole lot of others. its very nice. i got the dm800 coz the blade wasnt in stock, probably one of the worst choices ive made. if the blade isnt in stock wait for it to be mate. and its a piece of piss to flash. choice is yours but trust me

 

vu duo. nothing compares. expensive, fantastic support. no other box close

 

but is expensive fint as you would agree? for the under 200 mark the blade is outstanding for the price

 

and you can shell out the cash on a expensive box but all it takes is for sky to counter then what?

 

if your too concerned about sly counter measures, then get something like a cheap Openbox HD S11(£60), cant compare it with the Blade, as its too brilliant in my oppinion , but still a decent box the Openbox S11 (i have them both).

 

Not sure what u mean by sly counter measures

 

use a different encryption and kill the boxes

 

Does tht happen a lot mate

 

no but it can thats why its always a gamble in this game. want full sky package with no risks then buy a sub unfortunately.

 

gerrard08 good advice, tongs utter daft stuff. please learn before you advise

 

please explain mate

 

well i still don't understand what was daft utter. the blade? if so its as i say what it is, a nice piece of kit for the price. if its the encyrption i stand by that too unless you private share then yes i'm totally clueless. what is the reason for the utter daft stuff?

 

or some boxes are open sourced like the duo,or closed like the blade who can only do the updates,if they did knock the boxes off it would only be a short thing,too many good people tinkering out there.

 

tongs, daft quote is 'use a different encryption and kill the boxes'. They cannot kill boxes, they can enhance encryption. box will always work with satellite free to air channels including high def channels.

cactikid, i reserve my judgement on what you say. Vu+s with foxtel no longer work and oscam designers have failed to deliver a solution over 6 months.

personally when the game ends i'll be totally happy with saorview and bbc/itv channels . Tend to watch these channels more than most

 

yes i understand maybe i should have said stops you receiving premium channels. and if they were to get round another encryption then you may need a newer box ( if it did happen here). all in all i still say the blade is a very good box for the price. just my opinion tho

 

tongs, have used similar expressions in the past myself so don't let it bother you

 

and on that bombshell
