Can anyone recommend a receiver?

    Some help would be appreciated, I need a satellite receiver with RF Out.

    Other features I require are at least 1 CI slot and 1 smart card reader, it will need to work 2 satellites (Astra and Hotbird) and Saorview (not worried about teletext)

    Any suggestions? I don't want to have to buy an external rf modulator, as other half has issues with more cables.

    Thanks in advance

    To be honest I dont know why I even asked the question! The Linux boxes dont have the RF mod.

    Have a look at the IceCrypt S3700CHD. Not too sure about the card readers.

    Because you are insistent on the RF Modulator, your box selection is limited. I am sure you dont want a Technomate model from years ago!

    Check out the Xtrend models, hubtech make those also, but I think they have dropped the modulator with the Linux models.

    Technomate 5402 - I think has an RF

    If not why not use a scart adaptor to RF?

    No DVB-T tuner though.

    Because any RF modulator I've seen has to be plugged in. Not sure I'm going to get away with more cables.

    It has an RF Modulator.

    Not sure by what you mean about being plugged in?

    I meant the scart to rf adaptors have to be plugged in separately to the mains.

    Thanks, but I dont think that Technomate has a DVB-T
