Vix, Blackhole, OpenPli Cloud Ibox

[Qtx]

Thinking of getting a Cloud Ibox as a cheap satellite receiver this week and wondered if anyone had any experience of the different images that can be flashed on them? Not sure which to install.

I want to be able to set it to record over the network to my NAS box, as well as stream channels over the network to rooms that don't have an aerial socket. As I understand it XBMC can take the stream and provide the tv guide using VU+. Already have a Pi running XBMC in each room so having that as the front end for the tv as well makes sense.

From what I read some of the images also allow some xbmc plugins to be used on them? Any advice on which to use would be appreciated.

No plans on doing anything dodgy, just want to replace the Sky box with a cheap alternative that allows me to play and fiddle in the ways described above.
