PVR with freesat and terrestrial

macalase · 2010-01-08 14:55:19

I already post a message to the HE > Video players and recorders but nobody has answered. Can anyone tell me the best way to have an integrated PVR that works with freesat and terrestrial tv (UHS)? or is this even possible at the moment?

There are no full freesat and terrestrial combo receivers. There are many satellite FTA and terrestrial combo receivers though. The difference is that the Uk channels dont have a 7 day guide when not freesat. STB from this forum has put a list together here.

those would be picking up the rte/tv3 signals from dtt, correct?

I am in North Leitrim, will I be able to pick these up, or does UHF work on those combo boxes too?

Yes all the combos are DTT and Satellite. Havent seen any that are analogue for the terrestrial.

You should be able to receive DTT from Cairn Hill or Truskmore in Leitrim with your exisitng UHF aerial.

Sounds good, i will probably get this one, will use a usb harddrive for the pvr.

Seems to be the cheapest around unless anyone else know of anything better.

Yes that seems a good option at a very good price and Tony will look after you well. He posts here.

Should have 7-day EPG for DTT but only 'Now and Next' for satellite.

So to get a EPG for sat and DTT you need two boxes. A Freeview one and one that does DTT. Like the box mentioned above.
