Hi All,
Recently looking for a STB for a tv in a new extension. I have a Humax Freesat box in the main room. In the extension I would like to get box that can receive the same FTA channels, stream media, and IPTV.
I have googled the subject, but am just getting more confused., which ones I should look at and which ones I should avoid like a plague. I am flexible on price.
I would like box that works simlar to a standard STB, with a decent EPG - to suit the less technically inclined members of the family.
I would like to be able to record from the EPG, similar to my freesat box. Ideally be able to control the box via an app (so the reciever can be out of sight)
Can anyone make any recommendations? I have searched, and the recommendation seems to be to get a MIPS based box rather than SH4. I have looked on the WOS page, and the Miraclebox, or Technomate Nano seem suitable. Would something else be better? On paper the Miraclebox seems to have a faster processor, but somewhere in the reviewed I read that that technomate was faster? (confused!). The technomate has an upscaler for SD channels? Does the miracle box (or others) have this?
Can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks
