[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 1166177, member: 323322"] When my first generation Humax HDR gives up the ghost, I most definitely don't want to spend a small fortune on the only Freesat branded replacement currently available (the much derided Arris) and I've been considering an Octagon SF8008 with an internal M.2 SSD instead (World Of Sat will preconfigure as a Freesat look-alike). However, in researching other options, WoS also do a pre-configured ZGemma H7S and a slightly left-field ( and inexpensive!) option of the Amiko "SimpleFree" Triple Tuner.
