Hi I have a topfield 5800 which has just popped its clogs!! and I am thinking of purchasing a foxsat pvr. I just need to use it as a basic pvr . what is the scope of channels how would I know what I would receive. one of the reasons for change is toppy freeview No of channels is very limited. will I be happy? confused! not arf HELP low tech please! Regards Ray

The Topfield 5800 PVR is a digital terrestial pvr,(requires a aerial).
The Humax Foxsat PVR,is a digital satellite pvr(requires a satellite dish).
The Foxsat PVR can receives hundreds of channels:http://www.wildsat.com/freetoair.doc

Thanks for the info already printed it off, Would I get all these channels? I realise that I will have to get a dish etc and have it set up for me, would it be worh it, what are the pitfalls if any thanks Ray

Have a looky at this site Ray http://www.joinfreesat.co.uk/

Currently the channel choice on Freeview is BETTER than Freesat. Freesat is the solution if you want free HD TV (limited) or you get poor terrestrial reception.

most of the channels on freeview aretop up, this print off has quiet a few unless its wrong. not that I want sky freesat but my brother inlaw has this and is much better Then Im not an expert Ray

PS Im not realy interested in HD as my tele is not hd ready RAY
