aotealotl Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 To all the tech gurus out there. I would like to replace the bloody expensive mySky (they did increase the price again) with a freeview solution with similar possibilities. I would like to record two channels at once with the option to watch a third channel if necessary. I don't like ads, I like to record everything I am watching so I can skip the ads. what are my options ? MotoGP is on freeview, Formula 1 is boring nowadays and I will find an option to watch V8 Supercars live without paying Sky $90 something a month even I am living in NZ. hit me with your ideas and options, thank you.

#!CrunchBang Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 You'll want a myFreeview set top box which are $300+ I actually have an Igloo box because it's actually pretty good for a standard freeview receiver and if I want there are the extras I can pay for and it's pretty cheap to buy, $120 from the warehouse. I don't know if it'll let you record and watch another channel, but you could phone and ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aotealotl Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 But with an Igloo box you still pay monthly fees to the Sky mafia, right ? so a myFreeview box is my only alternative to mySky ? there must be better solutions out there. who can help ?

Godly3vil Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 With igloo you only pay for extra channels if and when you want them, otherwise it acts as a freeview box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aotealotl Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 other question. is there a reason why a SAT box bought in Europe with fast blind scan wouldn't work here in NZ ? why am I asking you may wonder ? well the X-9200HD PVR costs here in NZ between NZ $749 and $769 while I could buy the same in Switzerland for CHF 299 (or NZ $395) and probably even cheaper somewhere else in Europe (would have to get it from Switzerland so I don't have to pay for shipping) yes I know, I probably have to pay GST and I have to change the power plug :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Do they even run on the same voltage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
