AZBox Premium Plus worth a punt?

We're currently happy with our Humnax FoxSat box, but we're missing all the terresterial DTT broadcasts on the EPG as it's Freesat only (naturally).

The fact that it will blind search is pretty impressive, but will it integrate FreeSat and terrestrial EPGs for me?

If you own one, how happy have you been with it so far?

why don't you post in the Foreign Sat forum. there is a thread about the Azbox.
Seems that MHEG5 (digital teletext) is not supported by the box.

Mvision HD 200 or 300 would do the job for DTT and Freesat http://www.saortv.com/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=58

Not sure if it will let you stream mkv to it though , but half the price of AZ box
