Hi
For the last year we have been using a Humax HD satellite receiver with our Maxiview portable satellite system when away in our caravan both in the UK and in France and it has worked very well. This receives both Freesat and Free-to-air transmissions.
Recently I had the opportunity buy a Maxiview Free-to-air Sat receiver cheaply.
I plan to keep one and sell the other. I'm just wondering which one to keep. I particularly interested in using the satellite system on the Continent as I can, obviously, receive terrestrial channels in most places in the UK
The Maxiview has the advantage of running on 12v electricity, it is smaller and has a remote sensor enabling the box to be hidden away.
I'm just wondering what experience people have of using these boxes and I'd like to hear their recommendations. Our portable TV can be run on 12v too so that means we could use the MV box and TV without EHU. On the other hand we usually have EHU.
I believe that there are some changes to the programmes broadcast on the satellites in the near future especially effecting reception in Southern Continental Europe.
Will either box be better suited to these changes?
The instructions with the Maxiview box speak of it being able to receive singles from satellites other than Astra which I have logged in to with my Humax box.
Thanks in anticipation.
Tim
