Satellite receiver with a good EPG?

Yanu

Hi,

Is there a satellite receiver that offer a good EPG?

I used to use the skybox the receive the satellite channels (no subscription) and the EPG was very good but when the box stopped working, I got a technomate tm3100d and the EPG was just awful. I have returned the box and I'm now looking to get a new one. any recommendations?

Thanks

Any "Freesat HD" branded box; make sure it's the genuine article.

Humax Foxsat HD is probably the pick.

Yes, if you want recording ability, go for the HDR.

sorry to bother you again...

I prefer the EPG on the Humax to the SKY one and the recordings can be archived to another hard disk easily.

As Already stated, go for a 'Freesat HD' box.

EPG is on a par with Sky imo, prefer the Freesat EPG myself.

I'll go for the humax hd as per above link. €141 from amazon seems to be the best price around

been using this one for a few weeks, no problems and very fast zapping channels.
