Hi,
I've just jacking in my Sky World MultiRoom HD subscription (which I hardly ever get to watch) and am looking to use the money more constructively. I read your blog post about the HD-Fox and I've also read about similar functionality across the FreeSat equivalents.
I am looking to have a HDR in my main viewing room and then 1 or two HD boxes distributed through the house.
I have a few of questions:
1:
It appears the media sharing functionality your describe in your blog post between the FreeView boxes is native, however, if I was to go the FreeSat route, this is achieved only by custom firmware (i.e. a hack). Is this correct?
2.
If that is the case, how solid is the performance of the custom firmware? If I have free will should I opt for FreeView or FreeSat?
3.
Could I mix them? Eg can I have FreeSat downstairs where there is satellite feeds and then use a FreeView HD-Fox upstairs and will that still pull content from the FreeSat Foxsat-HDR downstairs?
4.
Can all of these boxes (Foxsat-HD, Foxsat-HDR, HD-Fox, HDR-Fox-T2) all access media from a NAS elsewhere on the network?
5.
Can they all access iPlayer and ITVPlayer successfully?
I realise if I hunted hard enough I would probably find most of the answers to to these questions (and I have a fair idea what they are) but I would really appreciate the forum's view and any suggestions you could make.
Thanks in advance,
Yorkshireboy.
