Thinking of getting a (recordable) Freesat box.
1TB capacity will be more than enough, I just want something reliable. Any recommendations?
Alternatively, if anyone has a suitable one they no longer need let me know what it is and how much you want for it.
This from Richer Sounds…
I don’t know how it compares with others.
Another £49 and you get 2Tb.
Edited due to mine being the Freeview box from Humax.
I’ve had a humax for nigh on seven years in dining room and it’s been faultless so I would recommend. I have no knowledge of any competitor boxes though so there may be better out there for the money.
Had Humax box for years but got pissed off with how long it took to come on from standby so moved to a Freesat branded box which was much better.
Something like this should suit:
Humax no longer making boxes though they are still widely available.
The startup time from standby can be adjusted in settings. It just means that it will consume a few more watts on standby.
I tried all that but still found the Humax I had bloody slow to boot up and when I searched for solutions there were loads of threads with the same complaints so not just me.
Box worked fine other than that, but I’d definitely go with the Freesat brand if buying new again - now using a TV with built in Freesat so no box.
Strange, my always comes on virtually instantaneously.
