Hello everyone, my mate got an openbox (plug & play) a few weeks back which works a treat, and made me want to get one too, so he took me to his supplier who unfortunately didn't have any left but did show me a zgemma h2s (again plug & play) which I was impressed with. I didn't have enough cash with me otherwise I would have bought it on the spot so arrangements were made to go back at a later date. Once home though the mind started wandering and I wondered what would happen if things went tits up, are there other better machines available, would I be able to get things working again if I needed to and so on.... on those thoughts lots of web browsing led me here. I wondered if I could get a box from scratch & set it up myself but the more I read the more the confusion set in. Some time ago this wouldn't have been an issue but now the mind isn't as agile as it once was. So what I'm wanting to know, if you don't mind me asking is ..... what box to buy, I need more than one, one for the caravan( standard BT broadband connection) and one for home ( Uber speed broadband) that has timeshift & multi recording if possible. Basically, recommendations for a box/es that I could possibly set up from scratch (with a complete how to idiots guide) and if thats beyond me which I think it might be then any recommendations of where to obtain what might suit me best. Prices that I've seen seem to go from one extreme to another although price isn't an issue I don't want to overpay through ignorance, I don't understand what lines, ccams, gifts or most of the other tech terms I've seen are so please forgive my ignorance. Please forgive the waffling on and my apologies if there is something on this post that shouldn't be here. Hopefully someone can help & push me into the right direction for my needs, thanks in anticipation & I look forward to replies of messages.... Reggie :-)
