Freeview+ vs Freesat+
Hi
I live in an area that seems to have a decent freeview signal and want to get rid of Sky. I have an existing sat dish with two inputs and am out of contract. So I am torn between the freeview & the freesat routes. Given that the freesat box I would need would cost over £100 more than a freeview box that does exactly the same: http://www.richersounds.com/product/.../pana-dmrhw120 vs http://www.richersounds.com/product/...reesat-g2-500g Apart from Dave, is it really worth the extra cost to go to freesat over freeview? Thanks in advance! David |

As to what's better is down to personal choice so have a look at each of the channel offerings and see what you best like the look of.
Freeview offers up to 50 channels and 24 radio channels. http://www.freeview.co.uk/whats-on/channels Freesast offers around 192 channels at this time. http://www.freesat.co.uk/files/4413/...3_1119_874.pdf |

Thanks, My assumption was that this (channel choice) was the basis to make the choice on, but it was always possible that there were other factors I wasn't aware of.

If you watch sport on ITV4 get freesat.
The picture quality on freeview is extremely poor on that and many other channels. |

Thanks in advance! David I had a look in currys but the boxes were all around the £200 mark It was a Panasonic. This one here would be ideal for her and she s now able to tape two different programmes at the sametime - something that came up surprising often. Will just take her 6 or 7 months to get used to it lol.

Why not have both, even if it is just a cheap Freeview STB and a Freesat PVR....
Best of both worlds and more channels to chose from................ |
