Dad's looking for a satellite receiver, needs to have:

-HDMI out
-DiSEqC
-PVR function (be it inbuilt, or through an external HDD)

I spotted this at Maplin, but I'm looking for a few recommendations if anyone has any.

Thanks

That certainly looks better, has timeshift as well!
Another to consider, thanks tranced.

It's a little bit pricey. Is this a problem?

I recommend this 1; http://www.humaxdirect.co.uk/product.asp?ProdRef=10087&cat=stb , i have the freeview version the Humax HDR-FOXT2, it's a little pricey but has everything you would need and the outputs are of excellent quality and it's so easy to use.

Doesn't look like that one supports DiSEqC, though it would be an option if we have another dish fitted on the roof.

I stand corrected on the Humax box.. it does support it.
Probably will be that then, just need to get a new dish sorted!
Thanks guys.

In the circles I move, Humax is the only one people use...
