Hi, I've been a long time reader of the forums and after finally ditching Uncle Rupert's gang I've taken the plunge and signed up.
I don't know much the subject being mostly used to Android/Kodi box set ups so please be gentle :)
As mentioned I've read through many forum threads and a lot came close to answering my queries but being unsure of etiquette and one other particular need I didn't want to butt in.
I 'think' I'd like to buy the Edision OS Mega, it sounds like it would suit my needs, record 2 progs while watching another.
I'd like to use the 3rd input as a Freeview HD feed (so 2 Satellite, 1 Terrstrial) I believe from what I've read that's possible?
My main TV is a Pioneer plasma, (one of us will die first it's the only way we will be parted) its only shortfall is its SD tuner and poor digital signal, so we always watch TV using the old S*y box. Other tv's & equipment elsewhere in the house (Humax pvr) can pick up Freeview without problem so it's obviously a weakness with this tuner box.
So that was my reason for picking the Edision above others, I want it to 'virtually' replace my TV's main tuner as well as having the satellite and recording capability (with a hard drive).
Have I made a wise choice or are there others I should be considering? Obviously 4K isn't needed for the Pioneer screen but if the hardware's better??
I've seen the Edision for sale in a 'World' where people have recommended but being a novice it comes with offers of things I don't understand yet like OpenViX, OpenPli & Open ATV.
Has anyone a thought on which option if any to choose? I think I read somewhere else about this but wondered if me needing the Freeview option made any difference?
Also would it be advisable to get the HDD installed by the seller to avoid any doubts re. future (if any) warranty claims?
Sorry if all that's too long, I feel like I haven't even touched the surface :)
Also thanks to those who've already helped me, even though you don't know it yet, you brought me here :)
