Satellite AND Terrestrial Analogue receiver

    This forum is a wealth of information and I've learned loads here thanks to all the well informed people who post here. Since I started reading this forum 6 months ago, I have built a HTPC with with dual DVB-S and dual analogue terrestrial support and I've ditched Sky:)

    Now my dad wants to do the same, however, I think a HTPC is a bridge too far for him. What's I'm wondering is there an integrated receiver on the market that can receive analogue terrestrial and satellite in one system? I want it to work from a single remote, just like Sky. I don't want to have to switch the TV channels to change Analogue and switch the Receiver channels to change the satellite channels.

    Does such a receiver exist?

    Thanks

    I doubt as Analogue is getting phased out.

    Do you live near any of the DTT transmitters? 80% coverage by maybe June 2009. Quite a few sites running. A quad tuner Setbox (2 x sat & 2 x DTT) with HDD/PVR is indeed cheaper and easier to use than HTPC.

    Can you give us an example of one of these boxes Watty? I would be very interested in one.
