Which receiver to get?????

Hi all!!!! Had my Amiko Alien 2 for many years but it's just packed up I think as it's stuck in boot and never leaves so time to replace.I've been looking hard as I don't want to spend 100s of pounds so wondered on your thoughts? Technomate is an old brand and thought of the TM-5402 but it seems rather old also a cheap secondhand TM-8000HD might do the job.I just need to power a motorised sat system here in the Uk and of course pick up HD with the ability to watch a movie via usb anything else is a bonus.IDEAS PLEASE!!!!!!

I will recomment Zgemma H 7s ( if you have twin lnbs ) or Zgemma H9combo if single lnbs and use Pure2 image on it , both can use the well known emus like CCcam / OScam . They are both 4k recievers and can stream iptv aswell .

Do not buy the TM8000HD the software is crap & has never corrected by TM,

Octagon SX88+ Optima will get you what you want + more

Octagon SX88+ Optima CA HD H.265 HEVC Full HD Stalker IPTV Multistream | Blindscan Satellite DVB-S2 Receiver

Plus it is very easy to set up with my channel list:-

Depends on your budget.Recently bought a Zgemma H9S.Cost me just over £55.It does 4k, IPTV, CCcam, Oscam.Still learning about Enigma 2 receivers and how to do what, but for the money I think is a good buy.The only downside is the small (256mb) internal memory.For similar money,the Amiko Viper 4k51 is worth considering.It has 4gb flash memnory.
