Mediastar HD8200S
Anybody got any thoughts on the Mediastar Powers HD 8200s. Need a new twin tuner MPEG 4 satellite decoder with PVR function, CAM slots and networking capability. Would prefer to steer away from Ultraplus and Octagon.

VU +Duo are good IMHO.
And you need to use a USB DVB-T tuner with the Vu. It's not the easiest box to drive. No blindscanning either.
The Fortis boxes work well with recording and playback and time shifting works fantastic. Easiest box I know to get cards working in the slots.
I have both boxes and what do I use all the time? UltraPlus X-9200HD.

I am a fan of the Octagon (have owned 2 of them) but the twin tuner doesn't come with a terrestrial option (as far as I am aware). I currently have an Ultraplus and find it a bit "clunky" to use. For example, it doesn't allow me to organise my channels.
