So im looking to get rid of Sky and get a Freesat HD box, dont too bothered if it can record but my budget is £100-£150.

Does anyone have one they can recommend?

There are loads online but im looking for a personal recommendation.

I have a Humax Foxsat HD which is good. Has really good reviews. You can even get the iPlayer on it if you connect it to your router.

I couldn't find the number lol. It also has BBC iPlayer its really useful if you can't record. Mine was only £69.99 as a refurb I will try and find the model tomorrow.

I was looking at one Humax box that had the option of connecting a external hard drive to it to record. Does the one you have have a USB port?

Seen this on Hotukdeals, not sure if the reviews are good or not.

That did look good until i realised it was Freeview and not Freesat and as we already have a Sky dish it dont make sense to install another arial on the roof. Thanks anyways though
