I don’t need much more than 100Mhz but I’d like to have serial/CAN decoding. I could probably get away with a 2 channel, but it seems like a lot of the extra features like wifi control and digital channels only come on the 4 channels like the 1204X-E, plus it has some waveform generation (though maybe that’s an addon?).
Anyone have a budget model they’d recommend? The DS1504 seems like it’s getting a bit long in the tooth and the price point doesn’t really seem competitive with better scopes.
From what I"ve read, Siglent, not Rigol.
There’s an Aussie yt-channel who does basic-electronics reviews, he’s done a couple vids on Fnirsi products ( whining about the name, of course ), so that may help you find the channel…
He, & others, have found problems with the Rigol stuff, re accuracy, iirc.
PLEASE CHECK THAT: MY MEMORY ISN’T PERFECT!
I’m certain that the recommendations I’ve seen are Siglent NOT Rigol or Hantek
( because I’ve looked into this stuff repeatedly ),
but I’m NOT certain which sources were doing the recommendations.
& the Siglent digital-input ( for logic ) is a costly add-on, but on SOME models it’s possible.

EEVblog is probably the one you mean. I have gone to that a few times, maybe I’ll specifically look up scopes he’s reviewed. His voice drives me up the wall so I kind of avoid it, even though the channel has some good stuff.
Siglent is the way I’m leaning at this point from what I’ve read in other places.
