Hello,
I'm after a satellite PVR that does the series-link feature you get with Freesat, but works with a motorized setup. Any recommendations? Needs to be as simple/user-friendly as possible.
Background:
We watch TV via inbuilt freeview and freesat tuners (Panasonic plasma), but, despite supporting a HDD via usb, recording features aren't great. Which means we have an elderly standard-def freeview box (connected via scart to the tv, so bypassing the av amp) just for recording stuff - the series-link feature is particularly useful.
Separately (and driven by a second, motorized dish), we've got a basic Comag receiver to pickup foreign language channels. Works fine, but record features not good.
Ideally, I'd like to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of 1 box by combining the sat receiver with a modern pvr.
Options I've found so far are the Humax Foxsat (but the motorized bit is via a 'secret' menu, which sounds less than ideal). Otherwise, the Technomate TM-5402 HD M3 seems ok, but not sure if it supports series-link.
Thanks for any help
