Hello,
for anyone who has tested the both of these, what would you recommend for IKS? In terms of picture quality, ease of use and anything else that's relevant.
I have a jynxbox ultra v3 and I like it, but I haven't tested those other two. How does it compare to them?
Thanks.

I don't have the dreamlink but I do have the pinwheel. I also have the jynxbox so I do that box also. now the pinwheel is a good little box the picture is good, setup is fairly easy but there are some people that may find it harder than most boxes but a little messing around with it and you'll figure it out. scanning does take along time but usually when I scan it scans all the sats at once so it does a while. I haven't really tried anything fancy with it like recording or getting it to go on my laptop or anything like that but from what I've read it seems fairly easy.
now the bad
if you have dishnet the epg isn't too bad not great but not bad and if you want bev you will regret getting this box the epg on bev is horrible.
I find the jynxbox better myself for now until they fix the epg it will be my third fav box behind my sonicview and jynxbox if they get the issues fixed with the epg it could jump up to #1. it is a great box but you will be frustrated I almost guarantee it. :)

I have both the T5 and the pinwheel Pro there both good I think the picture in SD is better on the Pinwheel HD both about the same.like scooby888 said the guide on the pinwheel for Noth sucks big time South I find its great I lkie the fact that the guide populates when the receiver is in Standby.The Dreamlink T5 has an excellent guide about the best Ive seen lately it channel scans very fast. Both receivers to me were easy to setup the DL is a little easier to setup then the pinwheel.

I have the dream link T5 and have to say it is a great Box. Cannot complain about it at once and the fact that it handles multiple servers is a nice thing.
