I’m stuck, mainly because my transmitter mast is a repeater, so I would get half freeview from three muxes. Although I’m essentially atop a mountain (it helps), I am still out of coverage for fo Wenvoe & Carmel full Freeview transmitters. I woud therefore need better equipment and, as I have no aerial now, it would be full install by someone, as I’m done with climbing !
At the rear of the garage there is a dish, which is the way I wanted to go, but with Humax no longer suppling Freesat box, essentially leave me with the Arris box, a company with no previous in this stuff and it remains sh!t along with reviews inclusive of yours maintaining those views. The only other way is a Linux based box, which would get 4hd, the Ariss box misses.
I could replace the dish with anaerial, but that would only allow signals from my local transnitter.
Freeview seems to have switched to manhatten boxes, which are availble on their website, but the humax auro only shows where to buy, As for Freesat’s Arris box, it remains available, when I have just checked.
Freeview (DVB T2) & Freesat (DVB S2) are two very different things in how they broadcast what is basically the same TV and I can’t see one affecting the other, unless BBC, ITV etc withdrew their services from both at the ssame time.
I will however most likely go freeview and stump up the cost for the right equipment.
