Overall, the Optibox Raptor has been the best fta receiver that I have owned.
The Raptor scans better than the TripleX, and it records better. I have a 1 TB internal HD installed in my Raptor for recording. The Golden media receivers do not support an internal hard drive or esata drives.
The Raptor does have some problems that will probably never be fixed, but so does the Golden Media receiver(s). I have posted a review on the Raptor that you may want to look at.

We do not sweep problems under the rug here or ask you to open a support ticket when you have a problem. If you look in the Optibox threads, you will see every issue or problem that we have been able to find. EB
