I'm looking into this also, not going to derail your thread by any means.

But just to let you know that if this is for freesat in the UK, you will need a DVB-S2 tuner for channels like BBC HD, BBC 1 HD and Channel 4 HD. It's very likely that other channels will move over to S2 as time goes by, but for the money that looks like a good by on the surface. I have no idea about anything other than the S2 channels thing though Smile

I have a QBox S2 and I am quite happy with it. In the meantime there is already a newer version. Not sure about this pretty old model you mentioned.

sorry to post a link to my own product but this works with XBMC 100% and I could watch ITVHD and BBC HD and I can give you the guides to get it working.

Tried a few cheap S2 boxes and I couldn't get anything out of them

If you want it then I'd consider selling it for £40 out side of eBay.

Note to admins if this breaks the rules please inform me and I will remove the post from here.
