As I don't want to have SKY TV - what is the best Freeview box?
Must have HD, twin tuners and pause/rewind TV etc. Blur Ray would be nice but not essential. Up to £250?
Or is Freesat better???????????????????????

In my experience, if you can afford, go free sat rather than freeview. Humax make great boxes fr both view and sat and the interface/net connection and

Interface on the Humax is IMHO better than sky. Free hd out of the box without having to wait for hd over freeview which is not even available in Essex yet

Thank you for your reply, I will investigate Free sat, a bit more seriously.

also have a look at the (Spiderbox hd) you need a motorised dish with it but you can get **** loads of channels via different satalites lots of sport and movies, even if they are in another language there are setting to change it to english, also you need an internet connection. my pops had one fitted for around the price you are looking at also they can be updated through usb.

Doesn't freesat have fewer channels than freeview?
Freeview - clossie - 15-10-2019
Freesat actualt carries more channels that freeview as it is not using radio waves. that said, more space will come up when analogue is turned off, but thats a few years away.
