Hello,
I'm moving away from Sky+ but my mum really relies on the timeshifting / recording functionality for a few south asian channels she watches.
It's mostly channels listed here:
https://www.tvchannellists.com…reesat_(UK)#International
Here are my requirements:
- Min. 2GB RAM
- Quad core CPU
- Internal hard drive slot
- 1Gbe LAN
This is mainly about future proofing & enabling my mum & others to stream from iPads and other devices whilst TV is being watched without any slowdown.
I want to bring my own HDD for recording, one option that looks good is the Gigablue UHD Quad 4k: https://www.world-of-satellite…vers/gigablue_uhd_quad_4k but doesnt seem to have 4K.
I also have a few other questions:
- will it work with my existing, dual-lnb sky dish (i.e. I can just swap out the boxes?)
- how can I get reliable EPG data (i.e. set it and forget it) I dont mind paying just want to never have to worry about it (if possible)
- what's the most user-friendly/sky-like firmware that I could flash on to it?
Many thanks in advance!
