Seen a complete free to view HD satellite system in store this afternoon for £79 it included a HD satellite box and a 60 cm dish with LNB and required fittings.
The dish looked alright for the price but they did not have the box on display. Has anybody on there bought one ? Im very tempted to get this for my second TV room just to watch the odd programme on BBC HD and the dish i would prob keep in storage. |

I seen it myself, I guess the box must be basic.
I use the foxsat hdr box, love it.
Especially world cup footy coming soon free on HD.
I reckon its worth the money unless you already got a sky satellite already fitted.

Ive got Sky HD in the living room had that for about 2 years and im on my 4th box they are that good. Only staying with Sky as i called to cancel in January and they gave me a deal for 6 months to reconsider tempted to get a Humax Foxsat HDR for downstairs.
I did have a bush Freesat HD box on the bedroom TV but i sold it on after i got talked into taking out a sub to BT vision thats alright but has no HD content.
Ive herd nothing but good things about the Humax Foxsat think that might be my best option. |

The Foxsat HDR is awsome!!!!!
I have had sky, virgin and skyhd and none of them even come close to the foxsat
even better no monthly subscriptions - the only downside is no DAVE  but that may change and I still have freeview for dave
...they are a bit hard to get at the moment - probrably due to the fact that a newer model with a 500gig hd is due out
- I will be getting another one for the bedroom as soon as possible - unless anyone knows how to re-activate the record function on a skyplus box, now used for freesat only sky want £10 per month to make a box i paid for to work - cheeky s***s |
