saorview/satellite pvr query

    Hi Folks, looking for options here.

    Situation is I have a Panasonic TV (TH-50pz81b), which I receive Freesat through its inbuilt tuner but not Saorview. I have an outdoor Aerial which picked up the old analog signal.

    Now, I was wondering if their is a pvr box on the market in which I can plug my satellite and aerial into and receive free satellite and saorview with recording facilities.

    Looking forward to any solutions.

    Regards

    There are combi Saorview/FTA sat receivers on the market but none that I know of with a built in HDD, external drive required.

    Many thanks "The Cush" I'll research those available.

    Do you have a preference or do they all do the same job?

    I don't own a combi receiver so can't speak for the pros and cons based on personal experience. Others may able able to give advice based on their use of combi receivers.

    The Walker and Triax are Saorview approved. Also the Triax I believe places all channels, terrestrial and satellte, in a single programme guide. Only now and next programme info available for the sat channels on any of these combi receivers.
