Thanks for posting this, always interesting to see what is new out there. I bought an FVP-4000T but it's very sluggish indeed and currently a bug in the five app is affecting some boxes (I have two, o ... |

I noticed that, would have been nice with if they had one with 3 cable/terrestrial tuners, I'd be very interested in that configuration :)Agreed. I'm not sure the simultaneous recording ability in ... |

Any one know if any of these boxes come with or are configurable for terrestrial tuners only ? I have no use (or desire to have) for satellite
I'd rather have just DVB-T/2, DVB-C/T/T2 tuners rather ... |

Let us know how you get on with the Zgemma
So far impressive! Unfortunately my unit is faulty - nothing on the second tuner so I need to get it replaced.
It arrived with OpenATV, I flashed OpenVix ... |

Alan,
Thank you! Yes the E1 box is probably ten years old but good to hear the E2's can decode off air EPG's. The Dreambox was like the Toppy, basic functionality built upon by multiple different ima ... |

The only way I have found to do that would be a manual record or wait for it to appear in the EPG 7 days ahead. It's a shame the global search can't be used to remember for future and auto-record. But ... |
