Question Which HD System?
I am looking at getting freesat purely to watch Euro 2008 in HD (and any other football that is shown in HD after). I currently have a normal Sky box plugged into my lounge TV but would like the freesat plugged into my bedroom TV.
How easy is this to do?
Also, which freesat box should I be going for?

Re: Which HD System?
Do you have multi-room? I'm looking at one of the cheaper freesat boxes (bush) as they have lnb in/out so I can connect both sky and freesat. This will just be a stop gap for the football. Freesat will be for HD only via my projector though.

Re: Which HD System?
You'll need a quad lnb (ebay) and then run a coax cable to the 2nd box.

Sounds easy enough. Just need to know what box to get now.

Re: Which HD System?
FWIW i've gone for the Humax. I've used their pvr for a while and found them very helpful with enquiries about HD; and there's a very useful dedicated forum if you get stuck ;-)
