Recordings made in Non-Feesat Mode?

I am looking for a new multi satellite receiver to replace my Duolabs QBox.
Can anyone comment regarding the recording of HD and SD of satellite channels on a FTA receiver.
Ideally I would like to archive off then on to a PC for storage (and maybe editing). I understand there may be problems with encryption but I have been told this doesn't affect recordings made in Non-Freesat mode.

Although the Humax freesat boxes are great: on the Humax Freesat boxes the non-freesat mode isn't the best FTA recorder out there, non-Freesat recording is very much an auxiliary function.
That's a shame because I had a Humax some while ago and I was quite impressed but my interests have grown and I want to go down the motorised Multi-satellite route once again.
For straying further afield, I have a Vu+ Duo (other FTA recievers are available), fed by sats at 28, 19 and 13. One epg, no HD recording problems - not being a freesat box it just ignores the freesat encryption.
As it is 'my' epg it does require a little maintenance to keep it up to date with chanel changes etc. It does more on my network than I have discovered yet.
You may find better information on the internet as there is a whole 'world-of-satellite' of information there. Hope this helps.

To answer (maybe) KaySea's problem with channel changes, I have always found the Vhannibal settings a great help. (Do a Google).
Bob........Is the I.Cord on sale through Amazon not the same product you are alluding to?
Perhaps have a word? You could of sold one to me and sealion looks like a possible...
Thanks - actually that was just to say any solution is a little more complex, in case you were expecting plug and play.
There are all sorts of commercial reasons we don't sell the iCord range in the UK, amongst other reasons: partly it is a support issue (our call centre team isn't staffed to look after non-UK products) and mainly it is the small demand which makes logistics difficult (when we import a pallet and don't sell it all then it takes up warehouse space and we have to clear the stock at a loss).
