Plex/Emby as a Sky Q alternative - testing and thoughts

I wish they would get rid of all +1 channels.

I've just ordered the latest Freesat 4K TV box https://www.freesat.co.uk/4k-tv-box/ which by all accounts offers decent performance (as uses a modern quad core processor etc),
looks good, and, copes with the wideband, skq exclusive, lnb ... no information to suggest they will do a freeview version, using their newer hardware.

after watching a couple of videos does look like a Rpi + tv-hat combo, and tbheadend, would be a economic, freeview solution,
attaching it directly to main tv would allow you to use it's mpeg2 hardware/license, avoiding transcoding, you get with other clients(roku,or,tv),
live channel change looks like ~5s

For sd channels, watching the live picture (eg film4) with (current panasonic) tv's tuner/upscaler/deinterlacer/noise-reduction seems to produce best image quality, that I never quite match wth the humax/T2 recorder, even if I send 576i from the humax
