[QUOTE="PokerP, post: 1082983, member: 414597"] Hello Satellites.co.uk forums. I'm planning on swapping to Freesat in the next 6 weeks or so after discovering how much we've been paying sky for the basic entertainment package. When we last changed our sky preferences there was no such thing as 'in contract' or 'standard rates' for TV packages, so we feel completely ripped off that we weren't made aware of these changes. Freesat makes the most sense for our setup as we dont have a convenient coaxial connection in the lounge. EVERY review website i've checked has the Humax HDR-1100S as the #1 choice and there are certainly plenty of 5* reviews for it, however there are also plenty of tech savvy reviews that say similar things; [B]'Clunky' EPG Slow / unreliable remote control Not as good functionality as older models[/B] Is this really the best box on the market? If not I'd love to know what the best alternative Freesat recorders are. I've also noticed that whilst 1TB models are available if you look hard enough the 2TB models are out of stock everywhere. Is this typical or have I chosen to look when there happens to be a lull in production? [/QUOTE]
