Don't suggest Melbon. It's just another FTA box using cheap Chinese Ali3510C chipset. Pathetic picture quality. Swaroop STC, Beldon, Impex, Intex etc are using same chipset.

Better avoid those and buy Solid boxes.
Solid 6303, 6303 Pro, 6363 models are the latest models from Solid, using GX6605S chipset. Very good picture quality and better tuner sensitivity. Available for ₹1000-1200 price range in local shops.
Solid has recently launched a model named 6312 which is able to support HEVC /H.265 format also. It has sunplus chipset SP1507 (or SP1506). But this model costs ₹2100-₹2400.

Other boxes which you should consider are Pagaria 5050, 6060, Cobox, MCBS Champion-4000, Clan-8007 etc which are all using either National GX6605S or Sunplus SP1506 chipsets, and are all good

Hello, I have joined forum today. I have one STB of SOLID MPEG2 type and another one of Pagaria (MPEG4 type) both are now dead. Already shown to retailer but with only solution of replacing its entire internals!
Although I have not used any BELDON, MCBS or Greenway STB but the first 2 are ISO certified, I dont know about Greenway. any comments

even my solid mpeg2 is dead and power supply has failed. showed to technician and he said internals to be replaced and i thought it is time and money waste investing on old mpeg2 and technology is advanced more than mpeg4.

I dont know about pagaria and what was the problem of your pagaria box, how did it corrupt?

if your purpose is to watch dd then icas-dd box should be purchased as in future the channels will be encrypted it seems. not sure when they will add channels and what channels.

you can watch reviews for the above said boxes in internet

grnway meant for abs and dd but abs is not having most of the tps active as of now. future???

i am in purchase dilemma between dd icas and mpeg4 / hevc boxes and in solid boxes 6141/6363/6303/6303 pro/6312

do suggest.
