    I am happy with it. BBC One HD is also available via satellite.

    I got rid of UPC a while back. I've been using Freesat for over a year now. Using my original Sky dish. Yeah, watching the F1 and golf on BBC HD was deadly. As well as the usual, BBC1,2,3,4, ITV 1,2,3,4, C4, E4 etc you also get BBC1 HD, BBC HD (It isn't BBC2 HD but a lot of BBC2 stuff is on it in HD), ITV HD and recently C4 HD. Recommended

    I got in freesat a couple of weeks ago and am very happy with it. I have the HD box so I pick up the above HD channels too. For what I would watch with sky it suits me. If you look around you will find freesat boxes that will pick up saorsat also.
