I thought Zapper was the term for a basic non-pvr box… Like the HD-FOX-T2 zapper vs. HDR-FOX-T2 PVR…?

I suspect you are 100% correct
Still a daft name. it sounds like a gizmo to kill flies

One thing you may want to check with that is if the menus etc are available over the SCART output if the box is also connected to a TV using the HDMI connection. This is a peculiarity of the Humax Youview box which is apparently still awaiting resolution but in the meantime is causing annoyance to some users.
Is there any level of MoCA support?
