Hi all

 

After many years my XCruiser receiver has cooked itself so I am looking to replace it with something new, however there don't seem to be many options locally these days.  I'm not really a fan of the generic "freeview" ones so I am looking for something similar to the Ultra-Plus, Xcruiser, Vu+ type of receivers. 

 

Do we have any local suppliers of these anymore, or suggestions?

 

Needs to be at least:

 

DVB-S / DVB-S2 MPEG 2 / MPEG 4 (H.264)
Fully DVB-S / DVB-S2 compliant (multi-stream 16APSK)
DiSEqC 

 

 

 

Currently receiving Optus D2, Intelsat 19, Eutelsat 172b.

 

Thanks for any assistance.
