You need a 60cm fish to access Freesat, freeview is a terrestrial system from the UK

Lots to choose from, such as the Humax Foxsat HD PvR and soon to be released Panasonic Blue Ray Pvr which i think is out next month and looks awsome..

Or anything by Technomate would be good such as the TM6900 series...

I picked up a Fortec Passion+ HD receiver with dish in Maplins around Christmas time for 179. Not sure if they're still on offer, but it seemed like a good deal to me. So far no problems with the receiver - it's pretuned with BBC HD and ITV HD.
