My knowledge of Freesat is limited. I know that there is a Recorder and a Receiver. With a receiver would you need a box to view an EPG?
No but virtually any box you get will be a recorder. You set recordings using the epg just like a sky box.
You can connect a IP streaming box to an aerial and your router or a dish depending on model. . Connect a usb drive it becomes a recorder. Live TV and recordings can be viewed on a lot of kit. TV’s with DLNA, laptops, tablets etc.
