Any of you guys gone down the road of buying a Freesat HD Box?
I've been a Sky+ user for a couple of years now, however a number of issues keep bugging me:
have any of you gone down this road, if so is it worth it, what Channels to you get, what is service/picture etc. like. I used to have a Digibox which had a few channels that were ok, but if I could get something that had the main channels and maybe some of the sports stuff (Cycling included obviously) then I'd look at that.

I've been a Sky+ user for a couple of years now, however a number of issues keep bugging me:
- Intermittent technical problems - fails to record; stops recording; programme freezes; sound stops working
- This has happened since I got it and despite getting the box replaced by a new one (which only comes with a 3 month warranty as opposed to 12 months and then they want to charge you for repair or for a maintenance contract!) the same faults keep occurring!
- Have had the receiver replaced on the dish a few months ago which helped some of the faults but not all - managed to get this free of charge
- Realistically - like most of us I suppose, we hardly watch any of what is available.
- £39 a month is a lot to pay for a service that you don't use much of and has intermitten faults. That's the best part of £480 a year.....could spend that on bike stuff!
- I could trim the package down, like having the Sports stuff and Mrs Andy likes the housey type programs, Relocation x 3; Grand Designs: House in the Country etc. etc. blah blah.
- Trimming might only save me a few quid a month though.
