My System: I have no receivers at the moment. I need to get info before I purchase.
Smile Satellite reciever query.

After my Freeview box died and went to digital heaven,I thought I might go the Freesat route and get HD channels as a bonus. However I am a confused about sat. receivers. Basically can I get a receiver that will get Freesat channels but allow me to recieve other satellite output should I want to go further.

I do not want to purchase kit that will limit any future exploration of satellite entertainment. Any recommendations regarding a suitable range of recievers would be very much appreciated.

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me.

Yes you can.

The Humax Foxsat is a Freesat HD Receiver (non-PVR and PVR versions available) which has multi-sat capability.

I have a non-PVR one and it is so good I let my wife watch (but not touch) it.

The PVR is a bit stifled in non-Freesat mode, but overall they are both well worthwhile.
