Dreambox 800 SE PVR v Zgemma h2s

[hzgf21]

I am in Spain with marginal reception. I have just bought a Zgemma h2s after my Dreambox died. One thing I have noticed is that the tuners in the Dreambox worked better than the ones in my Sky box. They would pick up Sky channels clearly that my Sky box did not receive. After testing both boxes on the same satellite dish (Dreambox v Zgemma on a Quad LNB) at the same time I find that the Sky box is slightly better than the ZGemma h2s have I bought the wrong box and which dual tuner box has the best tuner performance ?

More likely to be dish size/reception in Spain.
Torrevieja area with 1.9m dish and pick up all channels no problem.
Previuosly had 1.4m dish and was still quite good but some channels were borderline.
I use a variety of boxes and not much difference between them regarding tuner quality.

Extrend...vu+...mut@nt....technomate......all top end boxes with good tuners m8... ive never had a Zgemma box m8 so i won't speculate about them... but each to their own m8, but personally, i would stick to the big boys when looking for a good strong tuner box, especially when your abroad and trying to pull in 28.3 east channels, ????
