HD freesat/recordable-too good to be true!!

Does this --
http://www.turbosat.com/shop/product...&cat=28&page=1

mean I can get all my freeview channels, plus BBC C4 HD channels, and recordable -all without any subscription?

If so will this be better quality than my current Humax 9200T for the SD channels?

Any negatives?

Sorry, but there are several receivers on that webpage - which one do you have your eye on?

No, it's a Free To Air satellite TV receiver. Nothing to do with terrestrial "Freeview" (except that it should pick up BBC and ITV).
