Had a Humax foxsat HDR box for a few years now. Had sky but didn't want to pay so now watch Freesat.

Has BBC1 HD, BBC HD, ITV HD and Channel 4 HD. Can record 2 channels and watch another recording or record 1 channel and watch another channel.

Never had a problem with it and its free  :happy2:

There's plain old Freesat, too, as you already have a dish...

Another option, cheers!  :drinking:

So has anyone any experience with the above?

Beat me to it, they do a free sat HD recorder which has all the same functionality as a sky HD and uses your dish and twin IF cables mate.. Might cost you £200 to get that box but no monthly charges.

It's the way of the beast free box, and pay subs or , no subs buy the box.  If you just want TV channels and no recorder in Standard definition , then Argos £29.99 is the cheapest.

....Yes, I've got plain old (and free) Freesat on a dish. At least I think I have! It has limited channels but it really just depends how much telly you want to watch. I probably watch less than 20 progs a week absolute maximum and that includes "Neighbours" every week day.

Whatever it is which I've got, I don't pay any monthly charges at all.

I manage great with Freesat HD on my Humax Freesat bot with twin tuner and 320gb hard drive.

Would like Nat Geo wild, Discovery turbo and Motors Tv but dont want the bills

I'd love to change from Sky TV. Just seems easier to stay put.  :sad1:

I have no idea where to look as we have Sky+HD, Full programme package (needed for sport and movies) Sky+HD Multiroom, Sky Talk, Sky broadband (which is sh*te) and I'm sure there's something else. My brother says I'm "Sky's bitch".

Your not wrong. i can't believe how our Sky bill has expanded over the last 20 odd years Our flat bill (excluding extra phone calls abroad & all the hired movies) is about £105 PM.
