Hi mate

What do you want from the receiver. Is HD important? Do you want it to record TV and need PVR facility?

Linux receivers are very popular at the moment but are very complex to setup. Technomate have other tricks up there sleeves with easier setup but they are not as versatile as the Linux receivers.

Let us know what you want from a receiver and we can advice!

am in similar position to Yaso87

There is little or no mention on this whole forum about Technomate 3500 or 5400 are these good options for us newbies who want to share in the ability to open channels.

You guys are all so knowledgable but the terminology leaves us puzzled

which box

techomates arent crap, they are quality receivers but the problem is that there is very little open at the moment via patch/emu. spiderboxs have only just been released so i cant say whether they are any good or not but they look good and have plenty of features and are also available with a a+++ gift but i cant really elaborate on it as c/s cant be discussed. if you really want a technomate receiver with c/s capabilaties then have a look at a tm500/tm600 although i use a maxx1000 which is a protek/nanoxx clone.

so guys, you all seem to favour Linux boxes, believe it or not I used to be a main frame engineer, but lost touch with technology. Will I have to get into Linux to ferkle with software not open to discussion here? nudge nudge

theres no need for that!, you are entiteld to your opinion concerning technomate receivers but mine is they are a well made receiver and a very easy to set-up and use even for the beginner. having installed about 60-to-70 different technomate receivers(mainly the 1000 series and more recently the 5000 series) over the last 4 years and i can honestly say that i havnt had 1 telephone call saying that they had broke. compared to the flood of chinese "whatever name" crap thats flooded the market over the last couple of years id choose a tm anyday, but thats just my opinion and you are entiteld to yours!!

I'm confused whether or not a Linux system would be ok for me in terms of patchability. I now came across the Darkbox GDS 7000, will you two guys let me hear you argue over this one, lol

tm choice

a linux box is still patchable but it uses a open source coding system and there are alot of software writers out there. the difference is with say a echolink, you patch it and the patch comes complete with emulator and keys and so on built in, as for linux all the features are seperate so you could patch it with the image of your choice and then add the cams,keys,config files for c/s and so on via dcc/tcc, you also need to keep your stb hooked up to the p.c to get the best out of it. i am very much a learner myself where linux is concerned im just trying to give you some idea of whats involved.:thum:
