    I want to get a FTA receiver that's not too dear and was looking at these 3 on ebay and just wanted to know what people think about them and which one i should go for.
    I don't have a motorised dish. I want a receiver that can rearrange channels and change channels fairly quickly and one that has a decent EPG.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Receiver No.1

    Receiver No.2

    Receiver No.3

    2nd and third ones look ok with digital audio output although none seem to have RF out which is important if you want to watch on a 2nd tv. I notice also that the third one only has a german manual. Factor in the cost of shipping too whan comparing different models. As for epg's FTA receivers are usually limited to now and next programming.

    German Consumer Magazine " Test " looked at Sat boxes in its Nov issue , Boxes that got good marks were ;
    Telestar Diginova 3 €120- , Boca DSL 221 CI €60- , Comag SL 35 CI €60- Kathrein UFS 710 €138- and Technisat DigiSim S2 €100- , Humax , Strong and Zehnder were only rated "satisfactory " because of high stand-by electricity consumption . Topfield TF400PVR plus €370- got good marks in category " with HD".
