What Freesat box ?

[spellcaster]

I am getting rid of Sky Q and looking for a replacement subscription free box. When I google best freesat recordable boxes it comes up with the FREESAT UHD-4X Smart 4K Ultra HD Digital TV Recorder as the best. However when i read amazon reviews there are a lot of negatives about faulty boxes, outdated clunky menu's and recordings missing the start and ends etc. I have looked at the Manhattan SX box but that does not record. I carn't really afford 500 pounds for a humax recordable box so not sure where to go from here ? Any advice would be appreciated thank you.

The freesat menu is fairly quick, but not a nippy as Sky Q, no issues so far with recording.

I read that you cannot fast forward past the adverts on the recordings as there is no fast forward or rewind like with sky q can you do it on your recorder ?
