    No there are a lot of differences. Some of the channels on Freeview (eg the extra "Five" channels) are not on Freesat. Also there are a lot of Freesat channels not on Freeview.

    If you look here:
    http://www.freesat.co.uk/index.php?page=whatson.Main

    and here:
    http://www.freeview.co.uk/freeview/Channels

    You can see what is on each.and make a decision.

    My advice is go for a two channel recorder regardless of whether it is Freesat or Freeview as you viewing habits will change forever (except sporting events, we never watch anything as its being shown).
