Advice On Sky Digibox

[Holden McGroin]

Hi!

I'm considering buying a second-hand Sky Digibox for use in the
bedroom for FTV services and, during NFL season, to transfer my
subscription to. I've been browsing around E-Bay and a few web sites
and this one seems to be pretty cheap:

There's a reasonable selection there so I was wondering which one to
buy. I know i've heard the Amstrad has a LOT of problems but, apart
from that, I don't seem to have heard many bad things about other Sky
Digiboxes and, from what I gather, they are all of pretty much the
same specification (apart from one Grundig with S-Video and a Sony
with Digital Audio Out). My question: which one should I go for? I'm
on a budget but I still want to make sure i'm not getting a bad egg. I
don't use interactive services (not even the EPG, thanks to Digiguide)
much but i'd like stuff like channel changes to be nice and quick,
plus flicking through the Now & Next.

Any advice would be MUCH appreciated ;-)

Cheers,
Holden
