Good FTA Receiver Recommendations

Rick_

I am looking to buy a more up to date STB to replace my old Humax HD2000 STB and was looking for recommendations from people out there on what boxes they have.

Some things I would like the box to have/be able to do:

· Channel name on front of unit, instead of nothing or 4 numbers
· High resolution/HD on screen display/menu
· Receive DVB-S, DVB-S2 & DVB-T2 transmissions
· Clean, easy to use interface (thinking of the non-technical people who will be using it)
· Possible customisation of the OSD, like colours/fonts etc.
· PVR functionality, either built in or able to be added on with external HDD
· Abaility to re-order and re-name channels

Any pictures of the box/display etc. would be appreciated too.

Cheers.

It seems to only have DVB-T, whereas I would need DVB-T2. Anyway, it's out of stock!

AFAIK the tuner supports T2 but the software doesn't yet for whatever reason. That's definitely the case with the Amiko Alien 2.

STB

If its just a Combo DVB-T2 and DVBS2 box.

http://www.ferguson-digital.eu/en/hd-receivers/420-ferguson-ariva-252combo.html

Recording limited to record DVB-T2 and watch DVB-S2 and vice versa.

Also plays MKV/AVi etc.
Customisable channel lists - can mix dvb-t2 and dvb-s2.
Hardcoded OSD which can limited to one line or extended data.
Universal remote can control Tv and AV unit etc.
Channel Name displayed on front of Box.
Easy to use.

Main Advantage. Cheap €84 without pp.
