Is this what I need?
I understand, I pay the £££ for the box and that is it, am I correct?
What channels would I expect to get.
All I have on sky is, well I dunno, I know I got no movies and no sport, everything else I think.
Would I get all the kids channels and docu channels?
Cheers Tunnie, so far so good.

I actually bought an Pansonic XS350 Twin freesat DVD/RW with a 250 GB Hard drive fitted in it.

Than at a later date I will add a Humax freesat box in another room.

Same box as I posted, but i posted my link as it shows the back of the box for the connections.

Dunno if they pick the horny channels up for you though Di.

Awww well, that idea out the window then.
So I pay for the box and that is all for the year is it?
I can record on this Humax box like a Sky+ box correct?
Just go into currys and pay for this box, or maybe they are cheaper on eGay. Help needed here folks, as I am all for saving shillings.

I was all up for this until I saw there are no kids channels we currently get so I am afraid it is back to the drawing board for me.

The Pacific! - Sky Movies HD  8-)

10 Part series, follow on from Band of Brothers

HBO isn't it?

Might check the usual places

Yup, already been shown on HBO, up to episode 4 or 5, Sky hyped it up so much, and it look genuinely good, they have shot them selves in the foot, people will torrent it.

Looking forward to it, loved Band of Brothers

Bit annoyed it isn't on BBC HD as the BBC usdualy partner HBO, oh well I'll check the usual place

Dont have and refuse to pay £10 a month for Sky movies (and sports)  (Think £31+ a month is enough to them)

I wanna cancel my SKY due to the costs, but we are DIGITAL now in Wales, and Freeview don't work here, I think, so what else can I do?

Freesat

Never heard of it, how does it work and what are the costs? I have to be honest, I would miss the ease of SKY+

Why have the restrictive Sky box when you can have one of these superb bits of equipment, two people have bought one on my recommendation (Entwood & my boss) and they are both happy.

Best UK sat PVR, much better than those Sky thingies

Once you have bought it that is it.

Best channel is BBC HD but there are a few good other channels

CBeebies, CBBC CITV, Pop, Tiny Pop ect

BBC HD would have been a lot better if F1 had been it, was also peeved with BBC in the fact that F1 had been split over BBC1 and 2, as I set it to record and Sky would have only recorded the BBC1 bit on the series setting.  :-/
