It needs to be a satellite receiver with ability to display 7 day EPG and ability to pause live feed, and to record on a timer, even series.
It needs to be able to record on its own HDD or on an external USB device, or on external ethernet based device (eg a network drive).
If it has its own HDD, it must be able to export and import content from and to the HDD through the USB and/or the ethernet ports. It must not encrypt or downgrade HD material.
It must have an ethernet port and be able to receive internet streaming such as: Netflix, Lovefilm, Adobe Flash, Silverlight, youtube, freeeps and so on.
It also needs to be able to record all material regardless the source (eg ethernet, satellite feed, external USB connection).
It needs to have a HDMI output and to be able to send both video and sound through it.

Optional (in order of importance):
A HDMI input so I can plug in my blue-ray or DVD/HDD or Camcoder and be able to record the material.
Ability to stream to its ethernet port, ie act as a file server, or with some other prorocol, so I can watch from other parts of the house through the ethernet, on my PCs or laptops or another one of the same receiver.
Card slot(s) and ability to receive decrypt information through the ethernet port (supposing I have two of these in the house and only one card).
Ability to operate motorised dish and to store channel information per transponder.
