    You are right of course. Also, LIDL sometimes have special offers on free-to-view satellite services, providing you are not restricted on erecting a dish of course!
  • I like the sound of this, never heard of getting freeview this way! I'm just moving into a new house and don't want to have to pay for Sky Digital until I getr to grips with all the bills, so getting this should solve the problem in a couple of months I can upgrade to Sky without much hassle as all the equipment is already set up, cheers!

    Thanks guys - Paul which Bush model did you buy? I saw one in Makro for £30 (can't remember if that included the vat!)

    Re The Humax FOX-T or Humax PVR8000 (Shrek) Do you remember the prices.

    I'd prefer to buy on the high street to avoid postal returns in the event of problems (which quite a few people are having).
    Thanks - Oxter
