[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1033004"] Fully agree with the other posters, especially Analoguesat's advice on plug-and-play. I would emphasise you will not be able to receive or record any Sky-specific channels. But you will have all the Freesat ones (BBC, ITV, CH4/5 etc etc) avaialble for recording etc. In addition, your new Freesat box will also be able to access BBC iPlayer, 4 on-demand etc, so you have archive access to the stuff you may forget to record. Not entirely up to date with the current offering on the market, but I personally like Humax gear (they have a sound approach to making set-top boxes, which reflects itself into the user experience of their products. Not the cheapest, not the most bells & whistles, but does the job.) Wrsp to buying new equipment; hang on to your telly, and get a dual-tuner Freesat box. Plug-and-play. [/QUOTE]
