After waiting for an age for the new Freesat PVRs to be released I am now almost ready to pull the trigger on one of these thanks to @Carpcat and @pedro2000uk. I'm going for the Duo model as it has two tuner slots (I'm going to run a combined satellite and terrestrial PVR).
I spoke to a guy at World of Satellite and he recommended using a Unicable LNB as the VU+ satellite tuners cannot use the wideband technology in the 6 way Sky hybrid LNBs. I have 2 cables run from this to the lounge for Sky Q (now cancelled) and the other four to a TRIAX DDU. Can anyone offer some advice on this and whether a) my current Sky Q connections will work and b) whether 2 standard feeds via the TRIAX DDU will work if not please?
I may just bite the bullet and order a new dish and Unicable with a splitter if needed.
Also, I was thinking of using a dedicated HDD in my Synology NAS for recording over my LAN. Is this a good idea or is it better to fit an internal 2.5" HDD?
TIA
