  Does the Twonky server still work on a Foxsat twin recording box, will I get Catchup on the main box ?
  
  You can stream HD recordings recorded without encryption using the twonky media server on a Foxsat-HDR to a G2 Freesat box. The picture actually looks better that way as the Foxsast-HDR VP produces a slightly soft picture. However you need Raydons Convertfiles package to change the PAT table...
