I would like to purchase a FTA and would like to know people's opinions of what to purchase: My concerns are:
1) Autoroll keys
2) EPG
3) How often does it get hit
4) How fast do the new files come up.

I have been testing for 5 years using plastic and would like to get people's input into what is best.

Would people recommend the Dreambox 7020 PVR for the above concerns?

Vey repetitive questions. These are asked over and over again...daily! FTA receivers are a preference! The way you test...or in other cases..want 'Free TV' will decide where your purchase goes.

Maybe these forums below can help a small bit. Auto Roll is discussed; EPG ( I assume for EchoStar stuff?) is discussed.

As far as getting hit and new files being released for such boxes as the DreamBox series.
All FTAs will go down when Charlie sends out EMM. How fast they are up and running depends on the developer teams.
The images or bins are created by groups such as Blacklist, DBNA etc. Dreambox versatility shines because it is NOT confined to one image/bin to get TV up and running.

7020 does a lot. What do you want? plug-n-play TV or stuff like streaming PPV to your wireless laptop; recording that into a hard drive; playing video games; running Irdeto cards etc. Hmmm.
