Hello.
Help would be very much appreciated as I am a complete novice when it comes to setting up TVs etc.
I currently have a Samsung UE40C600RK television connected to a Pace (white) sky+HD box and satellitedish, with a blueray in the living room.
We barely get a reception with free view but I am thinking of cancelling our sky subscription. Would this mean losing all the programmes we have saved on our sky box?
We also run 3 other TVs (kitchen, daughters bedroom and daughters sitting room) with the intermittent freeview signal - BBC channels are never watchable but we sometimes can watch stv and almost always can get radio and channel 4 and e4. We live in the north of Scotland .
WiFi is not great either, but I think that is due more to the fact that it is a traditional house with thick stone walls, than anything.
What would be the best way to still be able to utilise our TV, satellite dish and be able to record, pause and series link? We listen to music and watch TV and films and but not really sports.
I am prepared to spend a couple of hundred pounds as a one-off if need be and have been drawn to as humax free sat box just by reading reviews. Although friends use free view and an HDMI connected hard drive.
I had also been toying with the idea of a cheaper subscription such as love film? But would prefer a one-off payment.
I feel we are not really utilising our main TV to its full potential and certainly don't use all our appliances in conjunction with each other.
Thanks for any advice.
