Coming back to freesat as my Sky 50% off deal has finished.

I did have the VuDuo box previously but was too much hassle to keep up to date.

What I want to be able to do with the least hassle is to watch freesat, record freesat, access iplayer, 40d etc, streaming from my PC would be a plus(have ethernet cable where freesat box will go so wireless not needed),

I need at least two tuners

I would like to be able to watch netflix through it.

I think I'm out of luck with netflix?

I have my PS3, it might not take all that long, But having to turn on the PS3, change TV channel, change AV amp channel, wait for PS3 to power up, then navigate to netflix, makes checking it when I'm simply browsing for something quick to watch, a pain in the bum.

Which is why ideally I want it all from one box, am I out if luck?

Thanks

The only Freesat+ unit currently that is anything near to what your after is the <free time> box HDR-1000s or HDR-1010s.
Has BBCiPlayer,ITVPlayer,4OD,Demand5 and YouTube.
At the moment there is no Netflix, but there has been the odd rumour of Netflix appearing at some point in the future, but at the moment it's all just a rumour.

Many thanks.

I know I'm probably being stupid, but even after going to Humax web site, I cant see what the actual difference is between these two models, they both appear to have twin tuners, both stream from PC etc.

It appears that all that changes on the two web pages when I click between them is the actual pic of the box?

I presume I'm missing something obvious?

Thanks

They're pretty much exactly the same except the White 1010s model has WiFi built in.
Strangely it seems Humax failed to mention that on the product page.

They do an "A Grade" for £159 too which comes with a full 12 month guarantee. I've just bought one as my sky deal has also finished.
