Advice Needed Simple to Use Receiver for Digea/ERT

[Adam792]

My great Aunt is interested in all things Greek, and as she's not too well and won't be able to go over there this year I'm thinking of installing a simple system for her to watch the Digea and ERT channels on 3.1°E.

I'm just thinking a zone 2 minidish for minimal impact on the front of the house. It should be plently big enough for a decent amount of rain fade wiggle room on the three transponders with their QPSK and 3/5 FEC, especially a bit further to the East of here in Nottinghamshire (the same size works fine over here). Might even whack an LNB on the side for a couple of the FTA channels from Cosmote on 9°E.

The only thing I'm no sure of is what would be a decent receiver to get. I'm after something for a decent price that's nice and simple to use and will cope with BISS (including "forcing" BISS on the ERT channels with their lack of CAID). A straightforward EPG would be nice, but I've no need of recording facility.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?

What receiver are you currently using at home to get the important channels ?
How good is your mother at operating remote controls ?


Why not bring her over for a play to see how she gets on ?

A technomate f3/5 or 5402 would be a great solution.

Thanks! I'll take a look at those.

Well I'm using a PC set-up with a Wetek Play as a client box to watch channels on for myself. The Wetek Play is a contender as well (with its built-in tuner and Kodi) but it's just the default remote control that lets it down.

Not just the remote, the ability to drop a vast menu depth away from the channel list of a simple satellite receiver by accident, even I've had trouble finding my way back.
