FreeSat / Freeview with series link

[pikey]

Is there a product out there that has a 'series link' type feature but for the freesat/freeview service?

I've just dumped Sky+ (too expensive as we only watch the main channels) and the lack of series link is starting to catch me out.

Most of the decent PVRs have series link (~£100)

It's called Freeview+, I think (used to be Freeview Playback).

So a box showing the Freeview+ logo should support this - "should" ...

I use a Humax 9200T and it's very good ... it does offer series link but I prefer to turn it off because I don't yet trust the broadcasters to offer accurate information on programme times/names.

Best Freeview PVR is the Humax, they now have the 9300 which has an HD output( it up-scales allegedly) and bigger hard drive.


There are no Freesat PVRs yet. Humax are meant to release one for Christmas. You could always use a SKY+ box and get a Sky Freesat card for about £15 from Sky.

Ah.

Please tell me more - I currently have a SkyHD box connected up with 'some' of the channels coming through for free (but no 'plus' functionality nor as many channels as I can get on my freeview tellies).

If I put this card in the Sky box do I get more than I get from free without a sky subscription?

Looks like the Card is now £20. This will give you all the Free To Air channels plus a load more cr@p!

TBH I have not actually tried one in a Sky+ Box so I don't know if the + functions work however I can't see why not. There is a FAQ section, maybe have a look there or give them a call, I'd be interested to know!
