I am looking for a good DVR that can see more than one satellite and add one or more channels from any it can see.

(Not for me. I'm happy with VM. It's for my parents.)

I know I can go out and buy WotSat but they only feature a few each month and I'm only looking for an over-view at this stage anyway

Thanks.
Do your parents have particularly eclectic continental viewing tastes, or are they electronics or sat hobbyists? The sort of kit you're thinking of procuring for them seems a little OTT for regular British viewing.
