Which Freesat PVR ?

[peterpi]

My wifes T2 is giving her & me grief. I need a quick fix and as I have a couple of unused satellite feeds I'd like to replace it with a freesat machine. Any advice, Humax or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Christmas

My wifes T7 is giving her & me grief.

I'll take that as meaning "T2" (but then just T2 could mean any of several)!

I have a couple of cast-off HDR-1000S's going for a song, VGC so far as I can tell.

Or another 2nd user Humax Foxsat-HDR and install CF/nowster patch. (Allegedly circa £20 on CeX from another forum).
Your sig says 2x -T2 and one -HDR already.

Or fix the problematic -T2 box / buy another 2nd user one?

Enigma 2 type receiver/hdd to record unencrypted and stream around the home. Not for the novice, I suspect.

Only official freesat box is the "Arris" freesat 4k one that has a number of known foibles (see AVForums long threads).

Aye it is a T2 (now corrected ). I might take you up on one of those.

Thanks and happy Christmas

Yes I do have a couple of T2's and a HDR. I'll certainly spend a bit of time fixing the T2, but I just need a quick fix to keep her happy. There are a few receivers but I don't know if posting a link would be Spam. I do have an old Technomate and the one below looks good.

Thanks & Merry Christmas.

Enigma boxes and the required special firmwares to emulate freesat via the interweb are not my field of expertise.

If / when my -HDRs and -T2 give up the ghost I'll need to investigate them in earnest: assuming Broadcasting from terrestrial transmitters and satellites don't end (or I expire) first.

AVForums have a few 'experts' so a search on there for that brand/model might help you. Some there recommend dSCR lnbs to work with Enigma and have 8 or more tuners available... streaming to users as needed.
