Yeah, that's interesting. My setup is SD only via Freeview. I was
intending to wait for HD until the digital switchover, but it's
another year away here in Oxford. Also there's no guarantee we'll
have DVB-T2 cards plus working linux drivers by then even. So I'm
thinking I should bite the bullet with Freesat.

Any advice? Maybe a list of articles I should read? I've been getting
away with a single HDD in my backend so far with a Nova-T 500 with
it's two tuners both split into 2 virtual tuners. Will I need dedicated
HDDs for HD recording?

Also wondering whether PQ would be better for SD channels on Freesat.

Cheers,
