As said prevuiously, its a hame Freesat moved away from Humax manufacturing the boxes, to a little know company in the field.
I would suggest anyone who is use to paying extra for channels above the base Sky/Virgin TV packages may miss those extra channels but other than Sky Atlantic (HBO) the base package should be relitavely similar to Freesat. However, if you have VP?N you can still watch HBO.
I have only ever had base TV packages, as I have other soorces to watch movies and sports. However I won’t be bothering with the Freesat box if its problematic but, thanks for being th guinea pig 🙂
