Which Freesat PVR ?

At the time it was their 'top-of-the-range' set. HD was coming...

It's difficult to build stuff in when it hasn't been fully developed at the point in time. T2 wasn't available in 2008 (and it's debatable about 2010).

DVB-T2 was available when I bought my parents' 24" 1920 x 1080p TV. I bought a brand new end of line HD Fox T2 to go with it.

Sony used to build pan-European sets: Quite likely that DVB-T full HD screen had a H264 decoder inside so worked for HD in France and elsewhere but that -T2 tuner availability at time of design was just not there for the smaller UK market.

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.

I do enjoy the challenge of getting something to work. Even when using the tools and expertise of other there is a sense of satisfaction. For someone born during WW2, it's good to challenge to grey matter.
