Technomate TM5200 are very easy setup. Quite a good menu system IMO and generally quite reliable. Also has USB socket for recording onto USB pendrive or external HDD.

I've no experience on Dreambox or any other Linux box to give opinion on those, though I'm sure somebody here will

thanks byte, does the Technomate TM5200 havr a lan input?

Agree with byte on the TM5200.

I can also vouch for the TM5400, which has a CI slot also.
USB record feature on both is easy to use.

No, it has no LAN port.

I currently have the TM6900 Super, which does have a LAN port, though I've never found a use for it.

If you want one with LAN connectivity, I guess it'd be hard to ignore Dreambox or perhaps Azbox?

Depends on what you wish to achieve.

Technomate TM500 linux based receiver with LAN port

Technomate TM600 linus based receiver with LAN port and USB for PVR

Very good receivers based on the Dreambox 7000 series

Technomate linux receivers are very good.
No problems with remote like you can have with Dm500 clones
