    It's not the best box to buy, but if you just want a box that is basically plug & play then go for it.

    I would go for the DBox2 or Dreambox as they are multimedia boxes that allow you to record to a PC and playback video, mp3 & pictures from the PC to your TV.

    I like dreamboxes but they can be picky about signal.
    Dboxes are excellent but very over priced for a 2nd hand item over 5 years old.

    not sure about the starview but don't think they are open source software so if support goes then you have a doorstop.

    dreamboxes and dboes are open source gpl software so will always have support.
