Unable to get Freeview properly due to signal problems so a local TV shop installed a dish and Goodmans Freesat box. Have had no problems since with sound or picture quality. Paid approx. £200 to include installation, set up and instruction. However, we were unaware that some other products are NOT compatible with Freesat ie. DVD recorder, which is NOT shown on website descriptions nor even on Sony's website. Now have recorder unable to use as retailer will not exchange. Did not ask the right questions before buying! Beware!!

Have just replaced one Sky package I have with a Umax foxstat HD box. I was really impressed with how easy it was to set up and how user friendly the programme listing screen and selections are to use, much better than the freview systems and comparable, if not better than Sky. The picture quality is fantastic even on a non HD TV.
I will now be changing all my Sky packages over to Freesat with an annual saving of £1008. The Freesat box will pay for its self in 6 months and I have the added ...- Read Guest's review (106 words)

Just brought myself a humax pvr Freesat box from Argos which cost me £288 which is a great buy and a one off fee and you dont have to pay a subscription like you do with Sky.
picture and sound quality is better then my skyhd box and easy to use and you have all the same features that you do with skyplus where you can record one programe and watch another and records a series link for you and gives you live pause and fast rewind which is much more smoother then skyplus and skyhd
i have j ...- Read garybrighton's review (155 words)

currently in process of cancelling my virgin tv account. I found many programmes repeated every month and sometimes twice in one weekend !!! then I thought why pay 49 quid a month for the use of a box where hd is on bbc, when I could have it free?. I now have top up tv for 9.99 giving me downloaded sky progs, and my hd and free channels on the freeesat box. my top up box also does what sky plus does. the cost? all in all £34.39 with my virgin phone and broadband.
this saves me15 quid a mo ...- Read Guest's review (145 words)

What a disappointment FREESAT has turned out to be. The initial advertising 'blurb 'promised a HD service to rival SKY. I spent £300 on a Humax PVR HD and a lot more on a 1018p television set in order to obtain lots of HD programmes without having to pay the Sky HD premium each month. All the non-HD programmes on Freesat I could already obtain through my Freeview or very basic non-HD Sky subscription.
What do I get from Freesat? A daytime BBC HD channel showing nothing but HD previe ...- Read JohnLy's review (414 words and 1 comment)

It sets me free from the problems with standard aerials. Freeview doesnt work well in quite a few areas so Freesat is ideal.- Read brunnery's review (62 words)

This is a review of the Free Sat HD service with the Humax foxsat-hd digital box ( £150)
Installation is easy, with the exception of the post code input (it refuses to accept correct ones, use London based code & it passes!!) Connections Are HDMI, component & composite on RCA & RGB/S-Video on 2xSCART plus spdif optical & analogue audio on RCA.. Note though that the HD only works on the HDMI as it gets disabled on the component during broadcast. Satellite signal input is on standard f-type ...- Read Freeky's review (285 words and 3 comments)

Picture quality on Freesat 1080i is excellent, cancelled my SKY+ which was awful and never worked from day one. I'm using the Bush HD box from Argos which was a good deal £119 + free HDMI lead.- Read Steve Deecars's review (42 words)
