    here may lie dilemma with an unknown future of channels on 28.2 hd are lost at the moment but if you had a motorised setup would bring more channels,better boxes like enigma2 boxes so many to choose from,single tuner,twin tuner for recording to quad core boxes and combo boxes sat/cable needing a sat or cable live feed and could run either or both.
    some boxes have poor tuners giving pixelated viewing on hd on cable[ weak signal ]
    all depends on what you want and will spend on it.

    Hi, thanks for replying..... i'm a little lost with what you just said haha.... i was getting my channels to the openbox through a sky dish and also used ethernet cable to the box too... i had payed someone (can't remember) for the channels sub for a year... so now i had over 6 months subscription left but can't use the box.... not sure if i could have backed up the data from the box and put it on a new identical box??? as so i would get my channels back?? but even if not ... i have no idea what the price of a box would be... but just need to get one asap a good one i would pay more for a better box... crap time for it to break down with all the christmas stuff coming on for my kids...

    any idea what might be best for me?

    thanks again

    many people are duped into buying these boxes from ebay when they see + 12 gift as they get cut off after 3 or 6 months and you cannot do anything about it,and are left with freesat only but box would still work if you had a new provider.forum rules say cant go any further on that taboo subject.
