Hi I am kinda new to the site and the satellite scene. I was wondering which is the best box to start with.
I'm looking for a box to pick up FTA and possibly a bit of sharing, also the cheaper the better.
Thanks in Advance.

look for a dreambox 500 or similar
vu+ duo superb
If you want Just FTA try a openbox s9 hd chip as chips
vu+ is most cheaper.
It is just the same VU+DUO with only one tuner.
It it 100% O.K. and you can make meoboot with
BH 1.7.3 in flash.
It really depends on your budget, however in my opnion stay away from anything closed source and sub < £100.... you would regret them in the long run.
Currently the most popular choice is the VU+ Solo (Single Tuner) & VU+ Duo (Twin Tuner). I bought a clone duo from satstore.tv best decision I have made in ages!
mate you search just for free channel look to starsat this is cheaper and you have to chose from the list if you need HD you have also there !
dream 800se are good as-well
As an introduction, I would go for the Openbox too, dirt cheap nowadays(but beware of clones). Simple to use and can be easily used for CS. Won't be long before you are craving something more taxing though LOL, like a VU+ for example.
Everyone says beware of clones but I think this is too much of a generalization. I have had 3 original DM boxes and had troubles with two of them (mainboard fail in one, PSU failures in two). I had a couple of really cheap clone 500 boxes that never failed. If was about to buy something now I would look at one of the "branded" clones from a dealer that will give you support or maybe a Mipsel box like Gigablue or similar. That way there will always be plugins etc that you can use.
