Nassa, I was waiting for almost year too, and finally just got the dreambox dm100 v2, cost $160, easy to install, u need the guide step by step. Picture wise I will rate it 7/10, The box is so small it's like half the size of any box you ever seen, I will say it's the best bet for the money, at least Dreambox has been around in europe for few years now, but don't expect this to be worry free because you never know.

*There are two versions of the DM100 at this time, V1 & V2.
Setup for both is essentially the same. Occasionally there will
be different files for each model. Pay close attention to be sure
you get the proper file for the version DM 100 that you have.

V1 = yellow lettering on the box it came in

V2 = Silver lettering on the box it came in

Dreambox is missing a lot of channels if we are talking about IKS. Dreambox is okay but the Support isn't that great. Only DN is available and no BEV for Dreambox.

The best supported receiver on the market right now would have to be the Conaxsat Nano2 as it has proven itself time and time again. The Conaxsat Nano2 has all the PPV events aswell

The LimeSat is fairly new and wouldn't go near it for another 1-2 months until a price drop. All the BEV & DN channels are up except for PPV and the major PPV events are always available.

Sonicview 360 with iHub are fairly good. They have all the PPV events but the iHub is now discontinued even though you can still buy them. Sonicview USA has stopped making them. They are a very solid brand and have been around forever.

If you are looking to go for DN then I recommend a Conaxsat Nano2.
If you need both BEV & DN then a LimeSat would do the trick.

The cheapest one right now and the best would Have to be the Conaxsat Nano2.

Hanz, it's your choise check http://www.ftabins.net/status.php

In other words what's working today maybe won't work tomorrow, and boxes showing 80% up could go black the next day, firstable before you buy a box, you should know this, if you get a month worth of programming, you should be happy, because any fta box even thoses for real FTA cost about $120. Second don't spend anything over $160, and don't buy an HD because nothing is stable forever. I own a dreambox for 2 weeks now, I'm very happy with my choice, freeze a little here and there, picture quality is just awesome same as a sub dn.

No one is talking about i-Link? Its been working solid for a while now.

I just started testing SV360 Premier with iHub and its very dissappointing.

Forget Viewsat. Its on the same page as nFusion.

Ive been using Ilink for 3 weeks now and cannot recommend it. Works one day, not the next, then is fine again on the third day. this is all without changing any settings or files. Signal strength and quality is fine so the prob is not with the dish. Im changing my switch to see if that is the prob. It seems likely the prob is my box. So careful on Ilink, Also the EPG is very small 3 channels
