Thought I might like freeview and freesat, has catchup tv, built in wifi, and 600 MHz. Refresh rate.
Thanks.

Wow, a 600MHz refresh rate?
Most TVs can barely manage 600Hz.

Oh. it's 3D and requires special glasses.

Haven't seen this particular model, but Samsung's 2014 sets in this range were pretty well regarded, and the (presumably slightly lower spec) UE48H6400 which I have seen, is an excellent all-round set IMO. Of course, it depends what you use a TV for most (broadcast TV, movies, sport etc etc), and if possible you should go along and have a look at a few, your own eyes and ears are the best judge when it comes to TVs.

Any reason why you want both Freesat and Freeview? Not sure what Freeview has that Freesat doesn't, but assuming you have a dish already, Freesat has more channels.

Yes, but if yet OP actually watches 3D content, this offer seems to include 2 pairs in the box.

I have a dish, and may eventually ditch sky, I know you can still use the box for freesat, but thought having it on the TV might be better, as for 3D haven't watched anything on this, I assume it's for DVDS, but thought that the 600 refresh rate would be good. I have seen it and think it's a good picture.. Just wondering if it's too much spec, we don't do sports, but do movies and the Netflix app will be great.

The higher refresh rate is in theory better, and may be so in practice, but there are several variables and the reality may not be a significant difference. Only you can decide. The higher spec, which is mainly the refresh rate and the Freesat compared to the 6400 (plus a few cosmetic differences), may be worth it for you if the price premium is not too high, would certainly give you more flexibility if you do drop Sky.
