Looking for basic freesat/Saoirview box

[wheelo]

As the thread title suggests, I'm looking for a recommendation for a basic box for freesat and Saoirview. It is for a friend's holiday home which has a dish, but no Internet, so it won't need extra processing power for IPTV.

I gave her an old Zgemma H2S, and she's loving all the free channels. I need to find something similar for the bedroom.
I was looking at the Zgemma H8.2H which has one sat and one cable tuner (if I'm reading it correctly)
It costs £49, and i don't really want to spend much more, if possible, but will if needed.

All info/suggestions gratefully accepted, cheers.

wheelo, I have an old Zgemma h2s if that helps only problem is , I do not have remote control used that to replace one on my zgemma h9 combo. will gladly post it if any good for a spare device but , as you know not good for iptv.

Edit just noticed you do not need iptv.
So if you can pick up a zgemma remote then sorted. If thats ok I will post if you pass on details.

I don’t think you’ll get much cheaper for an zgemma unless you look at second hand options though eBay or Facebook marketplace.

The Gt media v7 pro has a satellite and terrestrial tuner. They’re about £20/25 on Ali Express. Although I don’t think you’ll get the 7-day epg like you get with an enigma 2 receiver.

Yes moshi I know the remotes are peanuts , shipping charges I forgot about, But offer is still there ,as if I did not get a surprise with nearly 80 euro for my new gigablue pro when I bought from impex thinking I was getting a deal at the time with 10% off would have been a lot cheaper here but at that time not available mind you I also nearly waited 6 months after paying for it because terestrial tuners were not available. 😢

Postage can cost as much as a new device I found out the hard way.
