| 1273261 | 2012-05-03 22:03:00 | In the end I bought the Dish TV T1020. Main reason for that over the Akai was that the Akai only had one channel whilst the Dish TV would allow the user to watch one channel and record at least one other. It may not work as you thought , there will be limits as to what channels can be watched & recorded at the same time www.dishtv.co.nz aerialBox T1020 Freeview|HD single tuner USB PVR Record two channels and watch another channel on the same frequency. |

I have the older Dish TV 7050 PVR. I plug a USB hard drive into it. It records fine. When I know that I am going to be away I set it to record from the start time and the length of the program to be recorded e.g. program starts at 2pm and runs for an hour. When I get home I find that I cannot watch TV so I switch Dish TV on an off to reset it and then click on favourites on the remote to bring the channel selection back to normal. I can then retrieve and watch the recorded program from the hard drive. |

Maybe they are confused? That is what they state right underneath the single tuner statement: aerialBox T1020 - Freeview|HD single tuner USB PVR Freeview approved Single Tuner Terrestrial USB PVR (External HDD not included) Record two channels and watch another channel on the same frequency. |

| 1273264 | 2012-05-04 04:47:00 | No this is a thing that I do with a home built machine. Basically you can record a transponder at a time. Ie the TVNZ transponder holds tv1, tv2, tvnz7 (tv1+1?!?!) and U. The mediaword transponder holds TV3, 4, tv3+1 and there's a third transponder with prime, maori etc. So with 3 tuners, and this feature you can actually record everything. This is an advantage over something like the panasonic listed in the thread, I don't think it can do this. |

| 1273265 | 2012-05-04 06:52:00 | We have a couple of Loranz terrestrials that cost about $90 each from Hardly Normals. The first two were duds, they both died within a few days, might have been me for one :blush: but not the other. We got instant swaps, no questions asked, and no problems since. They were a little slow booting and changing channels at first, but after the latest on-air software update they are now faster than our Sanyo and Samsung Freeview TVs. They also have a USB socket so you can connect up a portable HDD and record/playback programs as well. They are very tolerant of poor signals too. The Loranz is around under a few other names as well, I've spotted them in ads but can't recall what actual brand they were hiding under. What I particularly like is that you can set them up to update once a week or so in the early hours of the morning and you just leave them on standby and it all happens while you sleep. I wouldn't bother with satellite, they don't do HD and bad weather or particular atmospheric conditions can knock them out Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1273266 | 2012-05-05 02:16:00 | The UltraPlus 9200 sounded so awesome I decided to look it up on freeviewshop & almost had a heart attack when I saw the price! | Greven (91) | ||
| 1273267 | 2012-05-05 03:28:00 | The problem in Auckland with Freeview certified devices is that they will only pickup Freeview transmitted channels. There are about another 7 non FV channels in Auckland transmitting of the Sky Tower that can't be picked up with TVs with TV certified tuners in them. Same goes for STBs. Guess if other channels try to transmit by saving moving and not using FV transmission systems then they will have no one to watch them. | paulw (1826) | ||

How Interesting! So what are viewers supposed to buy to enable them to view these exclusive channels, presuming they are digital and in the same transmission band as FV enabled TVs and STBs?

| 1273270 | 2012-05-07 18:22:00 | Mainland TV in Nelson runs 8 or 9 Digital channels on their own transmitter with the approval of MED re: license and technical details. They just needed to meet logical channel number requirements and SI (service information) type stuff for viewer compatibility. They load here on any Freeview tv or STB in the 800-809 channel number range. They are not listed on the Freeview MHEG EPG of course. |
