Apologies if this has already been posted, mods move if necessary.

Brother in law looking to get freesat. Has UPC but will keep broadband with them. Trying to find out the best reasonably priced Freesat box with HD that can record too or that can allow a usb harddrive to record. Maybe Watty has a recomendation Any suggestions, thanks

Humax Foxsat HDR will probably come top of the list of recommendations.

Also worth considering, the Sagem equivalent:

Or maybe the Grundig:

The Foxsat HDR is a great receiver alright, though I have not used the Sagem or Technisat equivalents to compare.
