Some caution may be required, or wait for more choices of Set Top Box.
Have a good read of this Thread:

I'll wait for another brand of receiver to come onto the market.
A 12v Strong would be nice. The cheap UEC needs to be rescanned after a power failure and the signal strength will not show till it's done(cart before the horse).
Have not found if a card can be purchased separately ie not with the receiver.

The new box & card doesn't cost telephone numbers. There will always be a better device coming. Look at the computer industry.
If you want access to digital FTA satellite TV while travelling now, go for it. Enjoy, & upgrade later if you need to. If you don't need it now, wait & there will probably
be more options.
The Austar boxes need to reboot each time, which I haven't found to be a problem. Auto seek dishes make life easy. I do understand the problem about a manual seek dish.
