SAT TV

[Gnasher]

Ok I'm a complete novice at this stuff so bear with me.

Got Sky HD but it's overpriced and I hardly watch the pay channels, also had their BB which is crap.  BB now been replaced with BT, got offered the BT box thing but I don't have a terrestrial arial so didn't bother with the box when I switched.

I want to be able to record programmes as I'm told even though the sky box will still receive free channels it wont record.  I'd like to watch and record HD channels, would like to get Eurosport if possible dont want to pay monthly just one off.

So what are my options?

I think TV play and recorder like these: -

But I think I will need a terrestrial arial.

I think the last option is the one to go for?

I had a free sat box after I got rid of sky. Plugged the same sky cable into the freeway box and it picked up all the freesat channels straight away, no messing.

^^As above, I got a Humax Freesat box.

Humax was the one I had as well, had a 500Gb hard drive in it too so it could record as well. If memory serves it was a couple of hundred quid though but I am going back a good few years
