BM5000s or BM7000S

[Newspaperman]

Newbie question
Looking to buy my first Satellite Receiver and was thinking of a Blade Media Box which one is best?
BM5000s or BM7000S?
Is the firmware specific for each model of receiver?

BM7000s is the better box. £150.

They use different firmware it's all in the download section here

BM5000s is the latest box £80, it will do everything the BM7000s does.

Remote isn't as good and menus look a bit different,but I personally wouldn't pay the extra for the BM7000s
and I've had both.

Thanks Bees
I could do with chatting with someone who knows the ins and outs of this
I like the BM5000s as a first option I understand about flashing the firmware on the Box just unsure about "cline"
Im willing to PM to get a basic understanding
