That is a very broad question?!!!
I would say Toppy because it should work straight out of the box.
(not that I own any of the above...)
Personal opinion, DB is overated.

Learning Linux is like learning Zulu...go for the Topfield.

The Topfield is just a satellite receiver, with a PVR, Big deal.

the dream, any dream is a unlimited satellite receiver, that is capable of all sorts of wonderful things. If you care to put a great deal of time into the thing, and considerable effort. And even though , they are exceptional, They are also very limited in this country, due to the fact we have bugger all services, to use them on..
But if you can get one at the right price, go for it..
And for the record, I,ve just sold my last one. But I know people that have
multiply models, and they think there the be all and end all, of receivers.
BUT they are not a beginners receiver.

Good info Bassett, but I think you said it all, when we are replying to an OP on his second post!!

Yes , I did not look at the guy's details, my apoligies Jal.
Really, if you are new to the hobby, you would be better of getting something a bit cheaper, and less complecated. But it depend's what you intend to do with it.. nudge,nudge,wink,wink.
