Hello.

New to this site and need help with deciding on a computer purchase.

Also looking at getting a MySky subscription.


The computer is an Acer Aspire Z5771 (PW.SHM02.008) all in one unit. It comes with TV tuner which I have tested and has all the Freeview channels on it once scanned. It has your normal aerial plug and also, both HDMI in and out sockets.

I had a play with the computer and it looks okay for my purpose. In a small flat I want it to be my main TV as well as computer work station media station etc. I has a bluray player is touch screen and HD compatible. When I tested I could record Freeview through Windows MediaCentre but my question is about MySky compatibility.

Would this unit be MySky compatibible i.e. a straight plug in and use with an HDMI cable?

If it is could I record stuff from sky directly to my hard drive over and above the normal MySky feature.

The sales dude reckons I could, but he looked like a shady cat and although he offered a good price according to my research, I know he was just pushing for a sale.


Any advice appreciated
