Which receiver to go for after a Protek 9600?

[deadlydave]

Hi,

Sorry if this is a bit of a daft question, but i've had a Protek 9600ip for the past few years, and now the box no longer "opens" up the
channels / packages it originally did, i was wondering if there is a new receiver that does all this?

feel free to Pm me any details of what receiver i should be looking for.

I currently have an 80cm Motorised dish.

Many thanks

Dave

Hi,

have a look to a linux receiver as like dreambox (clone or original), vu duo/solo.

Thanks for the reply. I've had a look at these and they seem to do the same job as my old protek, only from what i've seen, buying a dream box can be a bit of a mine field if you buy the from the wrong person...
There seems to be a lot of cheap models for sale offering a "free gift" for 12 months - would i be right in thinking that these are clones of the original, and to buy the genuine dream box and avoid these cheap clones like the plague?
