Indeed - I have both Freesat and Freeview PVRs, both HD capable. We use the DigitalStream Freeview box as our main box and the Grundig Freesat to take up the slack - mainly because the Grundig just ain't as reliable as the DigitalStream.
In essence, if the PVR has good functionality and reliability, the only real differentiators would be the non mainstream channels and any add-on functionality like media streaming (which we don't use).
