My System: Top Up TV 160g DVR Various Freeview TVs
Newbie needs advice

Hello all,

I'm considering buying the Labgear Free to Air Dish and receiver and have a couple of queries I hope someone can answer.

Firstly, is it any good?

Secondly will I be able to connect a TopUp 160g DVR in any way so that I can still record etc?

And finally can I still connect other TVs throughout the house that have Freeview inbuilt?

Hope someone can help.

Cheers
Steve

Hello

Welcome to the forum smcf

Regarding the dish etc as you have not quoted any details...size etc it is not possible to comment.

Well your proposed freeview receiver/PVR does not have such a good write up you know
_http://www.,amazon.co.uk/review/RLE618R3DTH5B
and also freeview has nothing to do with your satellite set up. Or are you asking if you can record satellite on the PVR?
If so it depends upon what inputs the PVR has, mine (different make) has three options terrestrial TV/scart/phono socket thus can record from either of the three options, you will have to check the specs on yours as I do not know.

Sorry what are you asking here?, your existing terrestrial setup will remain. if you want satellite tv in more than one room you will require a quad lnb (4 outputs) or octo lnb (8 output) and sufficient set top boxes for each room.
