To all the gurus that have been trying HD DVB-S Set top boxes:

I am after a Sat Receiver that is able to view HD channels (in HD) and run CCcam & NewCS.

Which unit is best value for money? and available locally with plenty of support?

Thanks in advance

don't know what your budget is, but dm800 is good value for money atm for about $350

Another box which is good that can run CCcam & Newcs is Azbox. There are 3 models in Azbox they are Elite,Premium,Premium+...Elite is the cheapest of all & all the three accept twin tuner.... Prices range from $300 to $500 depending on the model & no. of tuners....

The Azbox Elite is now the Ultra. Pic quality and price on all boxes is pretty good. The Azbox Ultra has does seem to have blindscanning and high bit rate HD channel issues from what I've read but I'm confident a firmware issue will address that shortly. There are other Azbox fw quirks.
UltraPlus 980HD is the same as the Octagon SF1008 for all intentional purposes. Blindscan is very fast and can FTP to it etc like the DM800. People have bought Occy918's in the past for a reason and will continue to buy Octagons for the same reason into the future.

After reading up on the Vu Duo + it sounds like a great unit, but the price is a bit high from what I have seen online.
