I'm looking for some advice on what to get for a complete home setup.
I currently have a NAS running plex media server. All TVs are smart and have the plex app installed. I'm happy with this. All rooms have 1G wired network.
- I'm looking for a box for the living room that can record one sky channel and watch/pause/rewind another sky channel from my sky dish which has 8-outputs, then i'd like boxes for the bedrooms that can watch sky, live pause, record, rewind etc, but doesn't need to record a 2nd channel at the same time.
It would be really useful if I could press pause on the living room box, and continue watching in the bedroom and vice-versa.
So really my questions are how many S2 inputs does the above boxes need? Is it 2 inputs for the living room and one for each of the bedrooms?
Does freeview come down the S2 cable like with sky boxes?
Can the boxes all record to the NAS rather than internal HDDs? Do the boxes need USB storage for EPG and picons etc or can they use their HDD or the NAS instead?
The boxes i'm looking at, from the sponsor WoS, are:
VU+ Solo SE V2,
Solo 2 Twin
XTrend ET7000 single S2
XTrend ET7500 single or twin S2.
What i'm doing must be a fairly common set up so what would you recommend / what is possible?
