Looking for a XBMC box that can also receive FreeSat

An Cigire

Is there any boxes out there capable of receiving UK Free sat and also have an XBMC plugin?

EPG would also be brilliant.

Don't need Saorview just want to use a sky dish.

I'm at loss would really appreciate it

Yes, same box

Excellent so It has enigma or similar?

Allowing that cool TV guide for 7 day EPG?

Thanks for all your help mate

Looks the same.
Software for the Amiko 3 is very fresh and untested.
You could go for an EVO XFinity either.

No Enigma on the Alien3

Thanks Goodison, I'm a fellow Toffee

No, there are no plugins for these boxes yet

GoodisonPark

I've tested both boxes.
There is a 7 day guide on the EVO Xfinity.
The Amiko3 is a very good box but yo date there's no stable OSCam version available for it.

Not for the Alien 3/Sab, it's very early days for this box

Thanks lads.. The Sab is very attractive looking box but appreciate that its new..

Will look into Evo Xfinity too.

I was looking into using HDMI passthrough on an Xbox One to view the Amiko Alien 2 output but through the Xbox interface, advantage being that for access to all my other media, I could use the Xbox interface, and maybe Plex, for an XMBC-like interface.

But if this box can do XBMC, would that be a better option with the Xbox being overkill?

If it's fast enough, my fear would be that it seems to be pretty low power and only 1GB ram.
