sorted byThen you are thankful you have a PVR.
Do we know what model this is?
edit: Freeplay UHD-4X-1000GB - can't see on list in link above but I'd be wary (edited)
Still don't really know why people lose their heads over a set top box not being able to run apps. My TV has Android built in, and I have a firestick, surely most people have a Firestick/Chromecast/NowTV stick nowadays, and probably a smart TV as well.
If you're relying on your set top box to carry apps, then you're missing out and eventually they will all disappear. Technology moves on, set top boxes are generally stuck in the time they were manufactured and their software is seldom updated, a bit like a phone really.
You'll find ITV2/3/4 all in HD on Freesat. These HD channels are very unlikely to arrive on Freeview due to the capacity problems Freeview has. In fact, over the last couple of years Freeview has lost HD channels! (edited)
If you have this, you can probably just add a USB 2TB hard drive for about £30-40 and use that. That's what I did anyway.
but then again with the catch up players do you need a twin tuner..i guess we just use or humax because its still going after a few years
Netflix bbci player yes but that can be done via the the apps on the TV itself if you have a smart 4k TV or can pick up a fire stick for £30 pound ish
Way over priced in my opinion
The main function on this is the fact it's a HD PVR with the ability to receive both 4k broadcasts and streaming.
£200 for a bang up-to date HD PVR with 1TB is a good price. 2TB would be better but a few quid more and you'll get that! (edited)
Freesat boxes - even like the old Humax-Foxsat - still work perfectly even after 10 years, so as long as it records live TV and does HD you can use your TV/Firestick for the 4K streaming content.
As an example I picked up a Manhattan T2-R 500gb with an RRP of £130 for £30 (CEX give £31 in cash for B grade ) and a mint boxed with receipt Humax 5000T 500g for £50 with an RRP of £190.
Anyhoo FB Marketplace is always teeming with Freesat/Freeview boxes as people think they can do without Sky but realise Freesat/Freeview are quite limited.
- Software was rubbish to begin with but has improved massively
- The SD picture quality is far better than Freeview
- There are more HD channels on Freesat vs Freeview such as ITV2/3/4HD - you'll never see these on Freeview in the near future unless capacity improves
- All4 is still missing, as well as Disney+
- Prime Video and Netflix work well on it
- The Freesat app on iOS remains rubbish (you can easily see what's on and set recordings - however when you've set something to record, the app hangs and you have to close it and restart it. This has been going on for a long time and the iOS Freesat app hasn't been updated for a year)
- The TV Guide is intuitive
- Changing channels is fast
- It's smaller than a Sky Q box or Virgin Media TV 360 box
- Contrary to some complaints about the remote, I find it OK
- The Freesat subscription is £0.00 a month
If your dish is easily reachable it might be better to change the LNB back to a normal one and open up your choice of sat recorders.
If you take up Sky Q then say you want a hybrid LNB, or keep your old LNB, to make things easier if you leave.
