I’m living in the Netherlands and am looking to get a setup with both Freesat and Dutch Cable with the option to record from both. For this reason I am looking at getting a TV from the UK with a built in Freesat tuner and the Humax iHDR 5200c (with twin cable tuners). http://www.humaxdigital.com/global/products/product_stb_cable_ihdr5200c.asp
So my question is simple. Will the Humax iHDR 5200c when hooked up to my TV be able to record off the in built Freesat tuner too?
Having had a quick look at the manual, I suspect the HDR 5200c will only record from inbuilt tuners, but stand to be corrected if anyone has definite info.
Do you know of a Humax recorder that doesn’t just record from in-built tuners?
The other option of course would be to buy a Dutch TV (with inbuilt cable tuner) and a UK Humax recorder with twin Freesat tuners. But I am guessing that setup wouldn’t record from the TV either…
