I've had Homechoice/Tiscali TV/Talk Talk for 5 years now, in that time I've also had BT Vision for 2 years at the same time, however the internet on Talk Talk has become dreadful for some reason and I've now changed my internet to plus.net as I've used them for years and they are excellent. I've got a good net connection and an old SKY sat dish on the side of the house.

BT Vision was good but the company was a bit expensive and they overcharged on some items quite a bit.

Homechoice, superb until the new slow box came out and then it got frustrating, VOD is good but the internet would stop working at random times.

I want the following :

- Freeview channels
- VOD like iplayer, ITV
- VOD for films
- Subscription channels
- If possible foreign channels, I'm talking Spanish/French and not anything dodgy

Any opinions on the following:

- 3View, my favourite choice and John Lewis have them coming tomorrow (Monday). Even though the staff there don't know what one is!
- FREE Sat box. Does internet work on this even? I know some have ethernet. Again staff at Currys didn't know what it was.
- Humax Freeview, I don't know about this and neither did staff at John Lewis.

I don't want to wait, so anything coming 'next year' is not an option.

Thanks in advance for any opinions on what you have or think is good.

Sounds like you should stop shopping at John Lewis.

(Well you did set yourself up for that).
