I'm looking for a cheap HD Receiver to watch programmes off Astra 19, so non Freesat. Doesn't need to have internal record facilities, but I guess USB PVR might be useful.
Amazon UK seems to have a few from £25ish with possibly less favourable reviews. Manhattan SX is nominally Freesat and no PVR.
Any recommendations?

Something that cheap is bound to be crap. Theres plenty of budget receivers in the sponsors shop https://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/satellite-and-terrestrial/digital-receivers/satellite-receivers?sort=p.price&order=ASC

Thanks. Went for the Octagon 88+. Should do the job.

I've used the SX88 OS on an SF8008 - its fast and has plenty of addons and gets frequent updates. It should do the job nicely.

Octagon Sx88 range is pretty good. Look on WOS under Octagon.
I had a few of them. Good support too via Octagon. Great Brand.
