Is there such a box? and in your opinion. Which is best

Hi. I hope you can help.

I am looking to purchase two boxes which will enable me to watch all cable channels.

These are the things I would like the box to be able to do and I hope you can recommend 1 or 2 that will fit the bill.

Of course I want a box that will let me receive all the football channels/movies and pay-per view items. I would love a box that can also pick up RTE 1 & 2 (These are Irish channels) this is important to me, as I love the Irish football.

I want a box that is VERY easy to set up and that is almost fool proof.

A box that has a full menu once set up and is easy to us.

I hear that sometimes these boxes can be turned off. However, a friend of mine says he has a box that automatically resets itself so he never has to waste time going on the internet to look for codes.

I want one box with a hard drive that gives me the TV plus service (and one without)

If there was a box that could do all the above and that came in HD that would be an added bonus.

If I was asked what is most important to me I would say a box that could pick up the Irish channels and that could reset itself. (I LIVE NEAR MANCHESTER)

I apologize for all the questions. But if I am going to buy 1 / 2 of these boxes, I want them to be the right boxes first time round.

Hopefully you can help.

Many Regards

V M Murphy

 

vinny I dont know if picking up the Irish football is possible on UK cable, only satellite I think. Like with S*Y in the uk channel 101 is BBC1 and in Ireland it is RTE1, this is the only problem for you as what you want your box to do etc is common among most boxes, the Eurovox EX7000HD is a good box.
