Hi
A good few years ago I played around with various receivers starting off with a triple dragon and rotating dish. For one reason or another i decided to pack it in and use a Humax 1000 sat receiver. I then played around with a minix box for a bit but found it frustrating with the instability of the images. Then for an easy family life subscribed to virgin tv which has become quite expensive so now I am looking to go back and see how the receivers have changed and improved and see if I should invest in something else than a Humax 1100s which doesn't really appeal as it only has two tuners, the vm tivo box had 3 tuners which I found useful
I am looking for advise on what receivers I should look at that would get close to my ideal receiver. I don't intend to install a motorised dish but use a sky mini dish.
The octagon 4008 caught my eye but I believe it's quite new so what's the support like for this box
Sat requirements
Simple 7 day epg like sky
Catch up TV for BBC ITV etc
3 tuners, 2 satellite and one terrestial
PVR
WiFi for streaming
Schedule series recordings
Able to add my own hdd
Possibility to add kodi, YouTube Netflix etc
4K
Fast CPU, large ram
Good support from the community
Stable
Good warranty
Hope you can help
Thanks
