Thanks Phil and Ricove.<br /><br />Since the post i've started leaning towards the Topfield 3000Ci Pro.<br /><br />I'm basically looking for a good FTA box, 2 x CI slots, for ~$300.<br /><br />Comparing specs, the Toppy has 1000 more channels (5000, compared to 4000 of the Emtech), and the Toppy supports DiSeqC v1.3 (USALS).<br /><br />Other than that, as far as i can see they are about identical. The Emtech is cheaper however. <br /><br />The topfield also has the advantage of support being available here in oz.<br /><br />I've heard rumours that the Emtech has a more sensitive receiver than the Toppy(s) but that may just be conjecture <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />As a side note, is anyone using RGB output with a SCART connection?<br /><br />I have a DVD Recorder with SCARTs and i was hoping i could get digital output from the IRD with a fully wired SCART cable. The manual suggests the Toppy can output RGB via the SCART-VCR connection (as can the Emtech). Should be better than just a plain RCA video connection.<br /><br />Both have TOSLink (fibre) connection for AC-3 surround sound. Both have RF modulators to output to a normal TV channel, etc.<br /><br />I'm going to be ordering the Toppy tomorrow from Kristal. Hopefully once i get geared up i can contribute as well <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br /><br /><br />Thanks.
