Recommendation for sky replacement
Hi All
Having realised that we're not really using the benefits of our Sky subscription, mainly watching the channels available on Freeview, I've been looking at alternatives. I'd like a player that does the following, in order of preference
1) watch and record Freeview/Freesat HD Channels
2) access Netflix and Amazon video subscriptions
3) play mkv files that will be stored on a NAS (not purchased yet but will do soon)
4) possibly also play back MP3 files from NAS (although considering a Sonos system with money saved from Sky)
5) Blu-Ray / DVD playback - nice to have but not essential by any means.
I'd like to do it all from within one interface, turn TV and player on and select options from there, the family need to be able to operate when I'm not around.
I'm not too concerned with the interface looking too pretty, more concerned with function.
Is there such a player that will do the above? Seen some reports that Samsung Blu-Ray recorders may tick all boxes but getting mixed reviews on that. Anyone got any experience of these?
Thanks in advance all
