hi mate well in that case if your wanting hd a dm800se (upwards of £200 deoending where you buy it )with a hard drive or a blade bm7000 (around £140 to £150 )would work well ,the box you buy may not come with a hard drive as standard in which case you will have to buy one so you have to add the cost of the hdd to the cost of the box (about £30 to £50 ) .the openbox s9 is a budget hd box at about £60 and you can fit a hdd to it ,but if your not bothered about hd the dm600s with a hdd is an option .
if your living in ireland and want to see what it would cost in euros click on the following link and convert the pounds above to euros

Get a Blade BM7000s HD box. The picture quality is AMAZING. Why go for a cheap HD box when the picture will be crap (step forward Openbox etc etc).
The Blade does everything, rock solid, fast, got loads of features and has got to be the easiest box to set up ever.
Just google it, you will see really glowing comments about it. And when you get one you will know why ;)

sorry mate i dont know of one good supplier ,it seems very difficult to get such boxes here ,so much so that i live here and havent managed to buy one here. im not saying there arent suppliers here ,but whether their cheap and reliable i dont know. perhaps the likes of e45 or mickah or other good members can offer a name of a good supplier.
