Hi,

I'm seeking recommendations (good or bad) on a STB with:
* Good remote controle distance (5-6m)
* Digtial out (preferably Coax)
* Good picture quality (130 cm TV)
* Easy to use (Wife and Kids)

I tried a Normende - which was fine EXCEPT for the remote sensitivity which just died after 4m.

I had a Strong 5390 which died (my 2nd Strong with problems) so I am looking for another brand.

it will be a much used part of a expensie HT set-up so If necessary I'll by a HD unit (my RPT supports 576p but not HD)

Homecast will do all you require: http://www.homecast-australia.com/

The Toppy has a good remote distance. The orig remote works many metres away, and doesn't need to be pointing at the Toppy (will bounce off walls quite well).
