Best Box for UK and Irish

Newport81 · 2020-10-20 23:52:10

My Sky Q contract is coming to an end. I’d really like the basic UK and Irish Channels RTÉ UTV etc. is there an easy box similar to the sky box that has series link etc laid out in an easy format or something that I can buy?

These days I use the ZGemma H7s and find it great value as a budget box. It is also 4k compatible. The Tiviar is an older model.
Don't be too put off by all the jargon. Like any new subject it can seem daunting but you will get plenty of support here if needed. Out of the box, a 'wizard' steps you through the initial setup for your network and tuning. In most cases the default settings will get you up and running. As you get more comfortable with it you can tailor it suit your needs more. Once you get the hang of it, you will find they are amazingly clever and powerful boxes, with lots of tricks that Sky expect you to pay for e.g. series linking, streaming to another room, remote control etc etc.
