He was looking for an android box, but I reckon the best solution would be a combo box - freesat with pause and record for when the internet is down etc, and the benefits of iptv...

Hi folks,

I've been tasked with 'cutting the cable' for someone who isn't techy at all.

He was looking for an android box, but I reckon the best solution would be a combo box - freesat with pause and record for when the internet is down etc, and the benefits of iptv...

Looking at the Tiviar and Formuler, well supported on here..

I had thought the Formuler z7plus looked perfect till I copped the tuner is DVB-T2, not sat..

So 2 questions I guess..

How steep is the learning curve with openxix/ open ata?

Is there such thing as a combo Android and Sat box of similar performance to the above 2 boxes at the £100 price point?
