A friend wants an HD box, but he wants an internal hdd drive he wants it working through a DiSeqc switch to get Freesat, and the Spanish channels on Astra at 19deg E. Tried to explain why a Freesat PVR wasn't a good idea (fixed SR's etc)
I can't sell him my VU+ and buy a new Ultimo coz it's more than he wants to spend. Swotted up on most boxes within his price range and think that a TM 800 with a HDD drive fitted may do the job. The fact it's linux won't matter to him as it will only be used for FTA stuff.All the Technomate receivers I've had through my hands over the years have been pretty good.Any comments on my thoughts above would be gratefully received, especially as regards the Freesat EPG. Would it do what he wants out of the box ( except for fitting HDD ) or would it need a new image loaded.
