Advantages: Large hard drive Disadvantages: Not worth upgrading if going to cost a lot
I have now had Sky HD for about 6 months. The remote is easy to use and similar to the Sky + remote. The box looks good in black a nice slick design. Baisically it does what it says on the tin. It gives you HD quailty pictures on the HD channels. The quality of the picture is very good but at the end of the day its not that great a difference and if i had to i could live without it. The fact that it has got a large hard disk in is very good and the ...
Advantages: It is easy to set up Disadvantages: it keeps sticking on one channel
...because I wrongly assumed that PHILIPS was a reliable product (It is made in Hungary) I was wrong, I thought becuase it was more expensive than a lot of other models it would work better, I was wrong.

The picture on certain freeview channels is not full screen and it is very difficult ...

It seems there have been problems (perhaps with monopolistic Sky?) and there's no more free satellite HD on the horizon? Instead it seems we have to take a backward step and purchase the new HD freeview box about to be released if we want more HD?
The other annoying thing about this Foxsat HD box is ... ...and consequently I have to revert to my Sony Freeview recorder's tuner for good pictures in standard definition which is mostly superb. I only use the Foxsat HD box for high definition. This chopping and changing between boxes is a nuisance. The final issue I have is that the BBC HD channel's programmes are not widely listed. They are not shown on the Freeview channel list or the Daily Mail's TV Guide so you have to switch to the Foxsat box just ...
