HD Freesat receiver with media playback and networking capabilities

Great Freesat HD receiver. It's well made and looks much better than anything else I have seen. It also delivers very good picture(SD and HD)and sound. I Connected a 250GB external hard drive and the PVR function worked first time, and every time...

Best thing since sliced bread!

Just bought this fantastic box of tricks after reading review after review of this and other boxes - The decider for me was the iplayer function (with wireless lan adapter) and ability to use as a PVR with a simple pen drive! Picture quality is great,...
