I have been using MediaPortal for many happy years - unfortunately Sky have removed their EPG data from the streams

Can anyone recommend a satellite box that works near enough to MediaPortal

i.e. 7/14 day EPG, can put the SSD card into it for recording (timeshifting a bonus but not essential) but the box also needs to be able to play other media (if you are familiar with MePo you will know there are Series/Movies categories that grab info from online sources for the synopsis etc and this would be a big bonus)

Don't have a massive budget but don't want to spend wasted money on something that will blow up (i.e. Chinese unknown wares) so some kind of good reputation for longevity

Around 100-150 euros would be the maxish, cheaper better

The OTH is fuming not knowing whats on TV, so this is for my sanity as well as my life expectancy
