Hello all
I am reaching out hoping that someone might take the time to give me a little help/direction etc...
I've been away from the Satellite world for too long (got comfortable with my Sky Sub) and have lost touch completely - back in my day, there were Dragons running around the Matrix! I am thinking about leaving Sky soon and going FTA but would like to get a system that is capable. My old decoders are long gone (Technomate from 20 years ago, Spyder and some others that I can't remember).
What I do have is a 1.2 m Channel Master dish on a polar mount that can reach from (approximately) 40 deg W to 40 deg east. It will need a new jack and LNB.
I'd like to find a system that can be used for 28 deg E and also 13 Deg E for Hotbird (Italian channels would be a real bonus). I'd like to get something that has an EPG but I'm really lost when it comes to what is possible. I see lots of posts about flashing units but can't make sense of what benefit there is. I'd also like to add PVR. I am almost thinking that Satellite may be dying out and everything is moving to IPTV systems
I'd really appreciate some guidance (or to be pointed in the right direction where I can get up to speed quickly).
Thanks in advance
