Yes, 2 donations required to record and watch separately.
Yes, the box runs hot with 2 JB200. Easiest way is to run with no cover on the box. I run with my box sitting on a laptop cooler. I run the laptop cooler from its own 110 / USB power adapter. That works too.

currently recording and timeshift doesnt work properly. i wouldnt plan on buying this box based on its PVR functions, consider them no existant.

yes the dp or dpp, will work but you will need extra power for them power hog LNBs, an old DN receiver or a power inserter will
work fine.

I have the box and the picture is amazing but they haven't come out with any updates lately...Once they do the box should be much better ....

Son, if you think Junkbox's picture is *amazing* then you haven't seen anything....yet!
IMO, Junkbox's picture quality is mediocre at best.

The picture quality is just as good as my Viewsat 9000,Max or my Nfusion HD, no need to bash it.Also the picture quality is only as good as the display your watching it on. And there are alot of low grade displays out there too.

actually the pic quality is about the same on all HD boxes . Some might have a bit better contrast and saturation levels than others but that is adjustable anyway either with TV or settings in the receiver but you are only going to get so much resolution at 720P ... Setting it to 1080 will not improve pic performance as the sats do not broadcast at that level. So really the biggest difference between any of the boxes is the TV, the cabling, and the video settings. Video processing is only a small part of the HD picture and an overheating HD module will cause all kinds of issues. The jynx doesn't have a problem with over heating though
