    What to buy

    Hello,

    Stumbled across this forum after looking around the net.

    Common theme - sly finishing up soon and considering my alternatives.

    What I have
    Standard sky dish
    2 x 2runs of cables (one to living room one to bedroom)
    Synology Nas


    What I need
    Ability to watch/record Freesat shows in a very easy manner (had a dream box pc set up previously and wife could not use it)
    Distribute live tv/recordings to other rooms (have a snug with LG tv and and pi3 running libre elec)
    Needs to be as quick changing channels as poss
    Good epg with series link if possible

    I’m not in desperate need of Kodi etc,

    Budget up to £200

    What box do you recommend?

    Is it preferable to record to internal/external drive rather than nas?

    Thanks, was looking at that earlier. Just wondering if there is anything I will miss out on from a diff e2 box.

    Do you record to external via esata?

    As it supports OpenViX I assume the blue hd skin or something similar works fine
