HD Options for World Cup

Thanks for the further replies.
It would be difficult to run another lot of cables from the dish to the downstairs tv .
I have had a look at sending HD content wirelessly but it appears to be very expensive.
The Freeview HD option would be the best way to go. Humax do a box for about £150 but it doesn't have a HDD so you cannot record progs on it.0 -

Yes the Freeview route appears to be my best option and the Humax would certainly be near the top of my list if it's priced right.
Hopefully I will have a bit more choice in a couple of weeks.

On a slight divergence, I love the world cup and all the hype about the HD coverage, sky rang me up the other night asking me if I wanted sky sports and sky sports HD added at discount due to the world cup coming up. When I replied I would rather clean the wax out of my ears with an ignited gas soldering iron than watch any football which I detest, they got very appologetic and I now have all movies and HD movies on a free trial until after the world cup. Bonus!!Approach her; adore her. Behold her; worship her. Caress her; indulge her. Kiss her; pleasure her. Kneel to her; lavish her. Assert to her; let her guide you. Obey her as you know how; Surrender is so wonderful! For Caroline my Goddess.0

Freeview HD PVRs should be arriving anytime. And Humax has announced that they will be releasing a firmware update on their box that will allow you to record through USB. :T0

They are going to do the same for the Topfield but not so sure about recording via USB.

You could always trade in an old tv for a new Sony tv with built in Freeview HD!0
