    Hi all,

    I am looking to buy a receiver for a parent. Basic requirements are 7 day epg, record, watch one record another. Correct me if i am wrong but that puts me down the path of an Twin Tuner.

    I currently own an Amiko Alien2 with e2, i'd prefer something a bit more stable as i won't always be round to 'fix' it.

    I am looking at :
    OPTIMUSS OS 2 HDTV Twin Sat Receiver 1TB HDD - within budget
    Xtrend ET 8000 HD 2x DVB-S2 Tuner PVR 1TB HDD - a little pricey
    Xtrend ET 7500 HD 2x DVB-S2 (with external HDD) - prob same €€€ as above with ext hdd
    Gigablue HD 800 SE 2x DVB-S2 - not sure if this can take internal harddrive.

    Just found an Xtrend ET 9500 HD Linux Full HD 2 x DVB-S2 Tuner 1 TB for €299

    Any thought on these boxes or any others that you good boarders might recommend.

    Thanking you in advance.
