Could anyone recommend a (Combi) STB that would work for an apartment connected to a communal dish system. The service was Sky Q using SCR
Thanks!

Problem is if it's Sky Q it will use a wideband LNB on the dish, I could be wrong but I don't think there's any combo boxes on the market which support this. The newest official Freesat boxes support wideband, however you can't tune in terrestrial TV to them, they are available from Amazon or Richersounds.

It turns out an 80 euro box from DID worked fine
