Two DVB S2 tuners and some sort of drive sharing got my attention.
But, at what price?
And when will all the features actually work?

[rrob311]

Cynextra is the company in Germany that designs them. I think the triplex is about 250 or so and the single tuner version is like 200. I was leaning towards the triplex but they have a new model that is android coming out next month called the Hypercube that looks pretty cool.

You-porn? LOL That should be a big selling point.

I Have the single tuner version and it works very well good blind scan good motor controls had no problems at all with it yet.
