hi All.
I am looking for best type of freesat receiver box to use in Quesada that would give all the free to air channels.
I have a 1.9mtr dish on the roof.
Thanks
Gleorge

Humax has the best electronic programme guide. Either a single feed, dual feed, record facility or whatever.
You won't get them here unless someone has one for sale (being Freesat) but you can get them from Amazon uk.

Is that actually a FreeSat box though?
It doesn’t have the FreeSat logo on it, and as far as I know, FreeSat boxes are only sold in the UK. This one isavailable in Germany and Spain, but I can’t find any UK sellers.
When you set-up a proper FreeSat box it asks you for your UK postcode, which is used to give you the correct regional programs. I can’t see that happening with the Nano Free box.

Go for a Humax HDR1000S. The Programming guide is straightforward and easy to use. Run two cables from your dish and you’ll be able to record one programme and, watch another live. In fact, you can simultaneously record two programmes and watch a previously recorded show.
Humax Direct do a refurbished model at £159
( https://www.humaxdirect.co.uk/freesat-r ... ished.html ) but, unfortunately, they don’t ship to Spain so you’d need an intermediary.
New on Amazon.co.uk they are £199
( https://www.amazon.co.uk/HDR-1100S-1TB- ... 1000s&th=1 ) and the delivery charge to a Spain is roughly £10.
Good luck

Depending on how old the tv is you may not need a box.
Check out the panel that has the aerial socket, if there's a similar connection next to it, I.e. a screw type coax connection, then you can connect the dish directly to the tv.
Then all you have to do is scan the tv set.

Pete there are plenty of other Humax boxes if you go back a page on the Amazon.es site
