Hi

I've been thinking of getting freesat, But i was wondering if the boxs have s-video output for my canopus ADVC 55.

Cheers.

AFAIK the only box with svideo output is the sky + one.

There would seem to be quite a few of the well known freeview channels missing from Freesat from Sky. Some of them are : E4 and E4+1, More4, UKTV History, FTN. The Hits. TMF. Haven't done a comprehensive check but altho Freesat has more TV channels they may not be the ones you will ever watch :

I had a grundig gds 3000 that had a s-video socket ,ROYOLD is right though you will miss out on some of the freeview channels ,thats why i have freeview as well as freesat.

This post is in the FREEVIEW section (wrong!)
Freesat from Sky is SATELLITE TV.

All the Sky Grundig Digiboxes GDS model numbers ending in "/2" plus the GDS2000 and GDS3000 have an S-Video socket.
