Freesat Plus Boxes for use in Spain?

Hello, I am looking into purchasing a box which will record etc and have seen on the internet Humax PVR 9300T DVB-T Twin Tuner 320GB, is this the type of box I need? I want to be able to use it similar to the sky plus boxes.
Thanks

My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs

That is not a freesat box it is a freeview box for terrestrial TV hence the DVB-T for terrestrial. But in general terms it has twin tuners for recording one channel and viewing another.

When using a freesat twin tuner PVR you will of course require a twin output lnb or greater for recording one channel and watching another correctly

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.

Humax Foxsat PVR is a decent Freesat Box.

Full PVR function (similar to Sky +) on 28E.

Also has DiSEqC for multi-sat, but this constrains the PVR functionality.
