[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 1045578, member: 323322"] Assuming you meant "Freesat" as in the UK Freesat Platform (and that's the sub-Forum we're in) , then no it won't work for your purpose. The Freesat specific boxes rely upon polling a dedicated Home Transponder (on 28E) in order to place Channels on the EPG, provide Programme Information and enable the full range of PVR functions. They do have a "non-Freesat mode" to allow them to operate outwith the Freesat EPG in much the same way as a generic Free to Air Receiver, both on 28E and other Satellites. Only manual recording is possible and thy really are not user-friendly in that mode. I have a first generation Humax Foxsat Freesat PVR and have applied non-standard firmware to enhance some of it's abilities, but that is not available for current devices. Edit: As it's now clear this is about generic FTA, I've moved the Topic accordingly. [/QUOTE]
