I currently have a standard sky TV subscription i.e. dish on roof and sky plus box. I would like to get rid of this monthly bill and am wondering what my options are with regard to replicating my current set up i.e I want to keep all the sky plus functionality, if possible. (obviously, less the subscription channels)
The Walker Saorview Plus recorder seems to receive the Irish channels ONLY, via an aerial, and has an in built hard drive which allows for live pause, record & series link, BUT only on the Irish channels.
A Saorview and Satellite Combi box seems to receive the Irish channels via an aerial and the UK channels I presume via my existing sky satellite dish, but I can't find a product which provides all the Sky plus functionality i.e. live pause, record, series link and watch one channel while recording another on BOTH Irish and Uk channels - maybe I'm asking for too much?? I have a 1TB external hard drive which I'm thinking could be incorporated into the solution.
