Time to replace my current TM motorised receiver as want something more up to date.
We use a receiver to watch Turksat mainly with other sats sometimes.
What I need is a motorised receiver with inbuilt PVR functionality (not external USB), HD would be nice, RF output to other rooms, single or twin does not matter. Just want to watch and record Turksat channels using a timer.
Never used Linux so not sure if to go that route.
Ideal receiver should be easy for my wife to flick channels, press record when wanted and easily choose recorded programs......
Looked at many VU+ and Technomate models (last 3 receivers have been TM, never had VU+)
Thought I would tap into your experts comments......Thanks in advance...
 
Possibly either the TM Nano2 Super or even the Nano 3T the latter has a 3rd DVB-T/T2/C tuner which will give you an option to record from either a FreeviewHD or Cable feed if you have one and for the meagre price difference it is certainly worth it.

Both can take an internal 2.5" hard drive which you would have to provide yourself, Once flashed with an Enigma2 image can be setup up pretty easily to act like an official $ly receiver if needed such as series record feature
 
Thanks digi247 - looked at both receivers, I have these in mind. My problem with both of these is that my house was 'wired' in each room 10 years ago with tv points (central from loft using amplifier). I have used the TV in/out on my Sky, Technomate, DVD player looping to each etc so each room can receive. (using magic eyes for remotes, picture quality is not good but works). As the Nano's don't have RF/Uhf loop etc, I don't know how I can send the signal round the house (unless you have a solution).
 
There are certainly options available to you either use a cheap RF Modulator or a Triax tri-Link which would give you magic eye capability around the other points of the house.

I am not familiar with the Nano 3T but i would assume the DVB-T2/T/C tuner has an Output which would mean it would send out via RF what ever it received in but i belive it would just send out say something like Freeview HD so that any other TV could be tuned into the freeview channels as well.

which would suggest the Triax Tr-Link is better suited to yourself to send what ever the 3T is tuned to around to every other TV
 
Just to confirm what Digi247 has mentioned...
The Nano 3T Combo does not have an RF modulator, just the loop out. Not many receivers have RF modulators nowadays.
 
I notice the TM-TWIN has RF, also HD, PVR built in etc. Not too sure what I would gain if I went for Nano 3T?
Any users of above boxes can comment? Thnx/
 
The Nano 3T has the added DVB-C/T/T2 tuner as well as 2 sat tuners (Not sure if you have cable but handy even for freeview all the same) it also boasts the same processor and chipset as the Solo2 so its a dual core 1300mhz machine.

The TM-Twin is based on the now very old Vu Duo with its dual core 405mhz processor less ram as well
 
They've been around for a while, and NOT cheap, but the Technomate TM7102 HD T2 checks all the boxes (pun not intended); HD, RF out, int. HDD and 2 Sat. tuners. Picture quality is excellent, and quite acceptable from RF out too.
 
Not seen much on the nano 3t. Is there much support & hows the build quality. You would think it would be more popular than the vu solo 2 as its priced under £200.
