Ok, so wife and I have decided to take the plunge and ditch Sky TV and go to Freeview.... We've not figured out how she will be able to watch Eastenders yet, but we will worry about that later. (I posted about that in an earlier thread)
I've been looking online at different freeview decoders and it is very confusing with all the different brands / types out there
This is what we need from a Freeview decoder:-
1) Has to be able to connect to Sky dish - this is a MUST
2) has to be able to record programs easily (prefer series link)
3) we need to be able to watch 1 program and record another at the same time
4) has to have HDMI connection to connect to our home theatre receiver / amp
5) has to be easy to use so my wife can use it and not mess it up (hopefully she won't read this LOL)
if it has wifi that would be a plus but we have google Chromecast connected to the TV already
I've found this one on Trade me https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=2050230075 - does anyone know if it is a good brand / unit that will do everything we need?
also I was in Noel Leeming last week and the salesman tried to sell me this https://www.noelleeming.co.nz/shop/televisions/accessories/freeview/dishtv-dual-tuner-freeview-recorder-with-1tb-hdd/prod169667.html but the reviews are not good..... it looks like it has more features than what we need - plus it's over $500!
any advice would be helpful
thanks in advance
