    Hello

    I am looking for help, I want to get a box that will allow me to have all saorview channels and FTA satellite in one box, but like sky + where I can record a different channel and also pause rewind etc live tv, also it would be nice to have some sort of on demand service internet tv built in. Can anyone recommend a box.

    some people have said a dreambox or gigablue box, but I dont know which one I need. do these boxes allow an aerial to be plugged in? would the box need to satellite and 2 aerial connections?

    I currently have a sky disk with quad lnb, I also have a tv areial thats not in use. and a sky hd+ box which I want to get rid of the monthly bill.

    Thanks

    Amiko Alien 2 only has 1 DVB-T tuner for Saorview.


    Gigablue HD Quad is the only one that really fullfills those requirements.

    Not cheap.

    Ok, it seems to be complicated to setup, does it take long to setup is there a wizard menu like next next next type of thing? I would pay this sort of money, as I am currently paying sky a ball of money each money so to invest in a box like this would say money in the longer term, by sky rates it will pay for itself in 6 months.
