No mention of an HDMI output on that box. Would be worth checking just in case.

The box supplied in that kit is not a Freesat branded box but a normal Free To Air Satellite box, It will still get all the channels you would with a Freesat box but will not have the programme guide.
The advantages are it will get more channels from the Astra2/eurobird satellites than a standard Freesat box will as some are not included in the EPG on Freesat.
From what ive read about the Philex Skyline i would be certain it has a HDMI output.

John Lewis do a freesat box for 119.00 and will install with a dish for £78. The back up service is also quality.
