What box, moving from Sly Q - £200 budget....

As the subject line suggests I'm moving away from Sly Q (I have a hybrid LNB, 2 wideband and 4 legacy) - have been running an old freesat box, but that is slowly failing.

In the process of looking at replacements have been pulled into the world of Enigma 2 boxes.

I'm interested in being able to view the freesat range of channels, 4k when possible, record 2 channels at the same time and distribute the satellite via IP (clearly, without lag) - I'm imagining that I will send it to my Plex server and integrate into the live TV feed for that. Plex isn't day 1, as I imagine setup/config (when wife isn't around) will take a while and so would want the box itself to work with minimum of fuss from the start. My house is wired for ethernet, so wifi isn't a concern.

Any suggestions, and don't feel that you've got to spend all of my budget - having some change is always nice

Thanks.

I would get a Unicable 2 LNB and a Gigablue UHD UE 4K UHD 2xDVB-S2X FBC (8 demodulators) + SPARE TUNER SLOT.

It would be over budget but future proof and give you 8 tuners to record on or stream to other boxes.

Sorry for my follow up questions..

Do I assume that it would just be a case of switching the LNB and the existing cables from dish to box doesn't need to be upgraded? On the LNB would the 2 ports both need to be unicable (most I've spotted look to only have 1, with the second being a legacy port).

And, when you say future proof - are their changes in the next 4-5 years within the Sat industry that would mean it comes into its own vs those other boxes, at which point they would then struggle? I have a plex server, so suspect I'm less interested in what extra things the box can run via plugin etc and more focused on the core satellite features - but equally I say that not fully knowing what these boxes are capable of..
