    The answer is yes, but with a proviso.
    The proviso is that if your LNB only has one connection, then when making a recording, your choice of other channels to view will be restricted while the recording is in progress. For full functionality, you need two separate feeds from the LNB to the Freesat box.

    As with anything, price varies depending on make and model.
    One of the most well known brands at the more expensive end of the market
    is the Humax Foxsat HDR, the latest model having 500GB of internal storage.

    I checked Amazon for you and it is listed there for about €275:

    It's also listed on Richersounds's ie website (store in Belfast) a little dearer at £250 sterling, although they are often willing to do a deal or give discounts to boards.ie members.

    You could try ebay too of course.
