Hi everyone, this is my post. I have a Humax Foxsat HDR, I have been very satisfied with it since 2011, but the Tuner is getting weaker so I am looking at getting a Linux based receiver, but am a little confused by some of the 'jargon'. I have figured out SCR & FBC & Unicable LNB's. It's the software/ firmware etc that I find difficult, what are 'skins & images' in relation to satellite receivers, are 'Images' the firmware & are 'skins' how the GUI looks.:confused:
Thanks for any help & advice on where to look for more info would be greatly appreciated. I am looking at the GigaBlue UHD UE 4K.

Your assumption is correct.

Think of skins as themes. Best to look at the skins section to see the different skin previews.

The images/firmwares are the different teams version of Enigma2.

Good Morning, thanks for your replies guys.

abu,thank you for your confirmation, do you mean the skins section of, say OPENVIX & other images?

Andy_Hazza, thank you for the link, I had seen that post & I will give it a thorough read through, as well
as looking at posts about other machines.
If you have any other advice I would appreciate it very much.

The AX HD61 is a great receiver, currently my main box. Exceptional receiver. Depends if you want FBC or not etc.

Thank you for the pointer. Does the above mean the HD61 is not FBC, which is what I am looking for?
I am also looking at the VU + UNO 4K 1X DVB-S2 FBC.(But has no display on the front). My price range is approx 190-230€( Live in Spain)
Thanks again for your help.

Only 2 manufacturers sell receivers with FBC - Gigablue and Vu+
