    Alien 2 triple tuner

    I have been seriously thinking about getting one of these to upgrade from my Spiderbox SD5000.
    On the surface it seems to do all I need (which is not a lot really!) for a very reasonable price, but I have seen concerns posted around about lack of support.

    What are your thoughts about this box?
    Are there any limitations I should know about?

          Actually I really wanted to go for the 7000,9000, or 9900 but supplies are drying up and for the same sort of money I can get one of these with 3 tuners.
          Wifey also wants record other program, slybox style epg, and pause etc.
          I want a media player, something I could never do on my Spiderbox.
          It would be nice to share my local card to the (what will become the) spare box as well.

              I did actually buy one in the end although I bought the Golden Media version of it.
              The Media player works great, just plug in a usb drive and it automatically finds the media for you. And what came as a bit of a surprise to me was that you can download apps for it giving you access to loads of online content.

                  I have one and I really like it.
                  I prefer using the receiver in sparkmode, thats a bit more stable than enigma2.
                  I have on the backside a USB HD for recording. Tried recording 2 HD (sat) programs while watching DVB-T and all flawless

                      I transitioned from a Spiderbox (9000) to an Alien (1) and have nothing but good to say about the Alien. I use both Spark and E2 with both having pros and cons, but there are still plenty of new E2 images and Spark is as I understand it still being developed so should be future releases. Linux boxes offer so much more compared to the Spiderbox!
