![]() Pretty sure that Freesat+ HD boxes are supposed to have an ethernet port. This one doesn't ![]() |

Are there any reviews of these anywhere. They look pretty decent for £139 new on ebay with a 500GB drive.

Not found any yet, probably too new. Could be the same innards as one of the other cheaper Freesat+ pvrs. |

I expect so but probably easy to identify as there are comparatively few manufacturers of Freesat equipment. The Sandstrom brand is owned by Dixons (Currys/PCWorld) which has a big presence in the Nordic countries.

Design looks more attractive to me than the Bush. And the E-Bay ads state it has iPlayer and ITV Player like the Bush.

![]() Other than the looks pretty certain to be the Bush innards and therefore not widely regarded as being very good. |
