TGM220

Hi all,

does anyone have any eperience with the itgate TGM220?

If anyone does have one and could provide a little review that would be great. I find information lacking on what seems to be an awesome box.

 

rip off of the dreambox 600

 

A simple google search will get you what you need.

 

normally i couldnt agree more and google is my first and usually last stop but i cant find much info on the tgm220 apart from the makers website and the satkings site who sell it in the uk.

i am looking for an independant review or comparison with other boxes.

 

Quite hard to do as they have only recently been released onto the UK market place, although they have been used in other countries, but you need a review to reflect the location you wish to use it in.

Wont be long before independent reviews become available for both the UK & Ireland as quite a few people have bought one now.

 

its a complicated world, i have my options between the dream box and the tgm220

perhaps i shall be brave and take the plunge

 

Freedom of choice is one thing we have its making the right one is the hard thing

 

seems to me they all do what i want if the eurovox did widescreen properly id probably opt for that

 

Simple to set up alright but sadly lacking in that department.

 

been a while anyone tried a TGM220 yet?

 

LOL it has, the only ones that have are at Satkings.

 

oh yes and as the sat kings chaps are the Uk sellers of the box any reviews/comments will be a bit once sided

 

i cant edit last post..dunno why BUT when i said "the box" i didnt actually mean the starview/thebox damn silly auto linking thing.

 

I was speaking of their members comments who have bought the Itgate. They are individuals and not resellers so their comments should be quite valid.

Only similarity between the two boxes is that they are both quality linux boxes .
600 takes an internal 2.5 hard drive ( which adds to expense ) the Itgate TGM220 has a USB port and can run both 3.5 and 2.5 hard drives.
Both come with a two year manufacturers warranty on hardware.
Itgate has better picture and sound quality and better EPG.This in no way is a slight on 600 as its a really good box too .
Itgate tgm220 is £159 plus delivery anmd Dreambox 600c £199 plus delivery .
Given issues surrounding non linux boxes both are much more future proof and will give years of great service .

 

Have you actually tried these side by side mate,
or do you have both of these?
Also is the direct recording to pc as good as the DM600's supposed to be?

 

Yes wiz i have both boxes . The Itgate with the new beta version 4 software on it records well .

 

Thanks for the info Jono.

 

Cheers jono.
