Keeping FreeviewPVR and watching Freesat HD...which one though?

After a good few weeks deliberating and scouring over the forums I have finally decided (I think) to keep my Humax Freeview PVR as my only recorder as the picture quality through my Yammy is amazing on my 50" Sammy.....although the "lesser" channels can be pretty rough.

I reckon my best way forward will be just to buy Freesat HD tuner and enjoy the HD material for as little outlay as possible.....so

Whats the best.....cheapest.....quality/price freesat HD tuner out there?

Who said can of worms?

The foxsat-HD is the best non recording box. There will be quite a few almost new on fleabay as they are upgraded to the new Foxsat-hdr. The only other freesat hd boxes are all the same (made by alba) sold as Grundig, Bush or Goodmans
