If buying only one pvr you can only record Freeview OR Freesat - not both.
With the Foxsat you need twin outputs from you satellite dish for the PVR and then will be unable to use the TV satellite tuner.
I have a 37" Panasonic like you and bought the Freeview recorder. You can record 2 programs at once with watching a third from Freesat. I watch the TV via its tuners and use the pvr only for recording.
There are minor niggles.
The Panasonic EPG is a dog
The Freeview box will not do RF loopthrough unless you turn OFF the power saving mode in Standby - I bypass this as my PSU for the mastheap amp has a twin output so I feed the TV direct.
The Humax does not switch automatically between SD and HD settings on playback - or something of this nature. This has been mentioned elsewhere on the Forum.
I think this is the cause of a problem I have watching recorded football highlights where the "long view" of players appears blurred. Not had time to play about with the TV settings. Not had any other playback problems.
