I'm looking at getting a freesat box as we have an old sky dish (oval, grey, hope it works!) on the chimney stack and it will kind of replace/merge with Freeview as we currently get blocking on Five when a bus goes past.
My thinking is I could spend money getting an upgraded aerial (ca. £200) or I could buy a Freesat box for £150 that gets me something equivalent to Freeview, plus HD, plus the FTA channels (if I get a Humax) and it will plumb into my Sony hard disk recorder on a spare input.
I just need to get it past SWMBO... Might have to be a fait accompli but I got a bollocking last time I did that with a DVD player!
