That depends on how much you watch and record.

I'm going to take you at your request for the best combo receiver -VU+ Ultimo 4K with FBC cable tuner, FBC satellite tuner and dual terrestrial tuner, that should give you about 20 tuners dude.

Dont need terrestrial tuner as i have freeview play and tuner built in tv, just need cable and sat tuner its only for 1 tv , will have a look at the receiver you mentioned mate.thanks

slight tangential question - is there a point in getting a 4K STB when the content is not-4K.

to upscale HD to 4K wouldn't a 4K TV be good enough?

depends who is doing the upscaling some (?) TV manufacturer's are really ****, more interested in Marketing tweaks that really should be turned off

[garryboy]

I can see your point. My 4k Tv does a great job of upscaling HD to 4k

However. May be with considering the performance aspect of the 4k boxes. More ram and faster processors. You would be future proofing from that aspect rather than the 4k side of things.

HD51 support two tuners, you choose the tuner types that you require. See product options http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/mut@nt-mutant-hd51

Yes. Can be configured together.

The Octagon SF4008 maybe a better option for you as it can have 3 tuners. So your setup with that could either be 2x Sat n 1x Cable or 1x Sat n 2x Cable.
