    Hi
    Replacing my Sky box with Linux receiver . I need a 2 x Sat and 1 x TV channels . I am trying to decide between the 
           Edision™ OS MEGA Combo (2x DVB-S2 + DVB-T2/S2/C) @ €220 
           SAB™ Unix HD Triple Tuner @ €141
           Amiko™ Alien 2+ Triple Tuner @ €141
    Is the Edision worth the extra cost ?. Of the SAB and the Amiko which would be better ?.
    Are there any other boxes I should consider Formuler F1 for example ?
    I know Linux boxes aren't exactly plug and play but I would need something that would be stable for the times others are watching and 
    I am not around . 
    Thanks for any suggestions you may have

    Linux does not mean Enigma2.

    2 and 3 in your lists are Sh4 boxes. E2 was written for MIPS boxes. Those 2 boxes also have very low spec processors (Operate at Apx 450Mhz).

    The formuler and tiviar box have Broadcom chipsets and 1.3ghz processor.

    Hi STB
    Thanks for your reply . So would I be better off going for the Edision™ OS MEGA Combo with E2 preloaded or would the Formuler F1 ( also with E2 ) give me nearly the same performance at a much lower price ?.

    Yes the latter. Theres 2 1.3GHZ boxes around the £99 mark. Tiviar and Formuler F1. Main difference between the 2 is the Tiviar takes an internal drive whilst the F1 has an esata connection at the back of the box.
