    Receiver just for sat + DTT DVB-T recording?

    Hi I was trying to figure out an inexpensive system for preserving archives of a satellite channel and also 2 DTT channels over DVB-T with MPEG-4.
    I think I need a STT with single satellite tuner and 2 DVB-T tuners (not the UK DVB-T2) because the particular channels are on different multiplexes.
    I saw on here that openvix boxes are really popular and a lot of people recommend adding USB tuners like the xbox tv tuner, but I thought that might be very unreliable for drivers and instability. I'm not really sure if that's the case.

    Are there any pointers for some inexpensive hardware I can script or configure to trigger these recordings? I thought a nice dedicated STT would be the most stable.

    I won't be connecting this box to a TV.

    Any pointers would be very appreciated!

    DVB T2 tuners are also DVB-T tuners - they do both.
    Add a hard disk to a Enigma 2 box and run Openvix and you have a PVR which can record from all tuners at the same time. You can set timers using Openvix.

    You can also record to a network drive

    One box that meets your need from the site sponsor. Two terrestrial tuners DVB T and DVB T2 and one satellite tuner.
    Note in the UK some standard definition channels are actually carried on a 2 MUX

    You may want to connect to a tv to see the menu system, set timers, check that the box is operating correctly.

    Zgemma H7C would have been ideal but there is no stock at the moment. Really would be best to send an email to World-of-Satellite with your requirements and they can recommend something suitable.
