Which Satellite receiver should I buy??
Hello to everybody,
I would Like to buy a new satellite receiver

I was thinking about these three receiver:
- DreamBox DM 500 s +
- Clarke Tech 550 PVR
- Qbox one
Which on e is the best??
If anyone knows other good receivers, that have, more and less, the same price of the above mentioned receivers I will be happy to take in consideration your advices!!
Thanks a lot.
That's not an easy question.Originally Posted by ghemon

Not an easy Question that you are posing there.
Let me ask you a Question (Or Two);
How important is a PVR /DVR Function to you?
Do you have any short-medium term plains for HD (or DVB-S2).
The Dreambox runs on Linux and IIRC it can be made to fit a Laptop (2.5" HDD), inside it. Since it's Linux your not limited to using an External HDD via a FAT32 (<4Gib Max Filesize!).
If this *Linux OS* is also true with the Clark? IDK
As for the QBox, well that should be a Linux OS Receiver just like the Dream, I think you could modify it with a Laptop (2.5" HDD), as well but, I'm not 100% sure on that though.
In any case the biggest difference between the QBox and Dream, is that the QBox has a built-in Daiblo CAM in it, this means that you ~should be able to~ receive S*xV**W, on 13.0°E (et.al), and a few C*N*X Packages on 16.0°E, 09.0°E, and 08.0°W. Which you could only currently open up with an updated Diablo (Rev 2.3), CAM

thanks a lot for your clarifying reply!!
I have to say that I don't really care to have PVR or DVR functions.
I'm only looking for a satellite receiver that is "open" and make me able to install software or plugins easily!!
I know there are on the market really good receiver but at this moment I don't want spend too much money because, I'm a software specialist, but I'm new in the satellite transmissions field!!
If you know other type of good receiver I'll be happy to listen your advice!!
Bye.
