Need cheap Satellite reciever box

tuxy

Hi, I'm currently using a Sky box for free to air channels. The menu system on the sky box is a pain in the arse for channel you add yourself. Can anyone recommend a cheap replacement box for free to air? I don't need any special features so just something real basic.

*Damn wrong forum could someone move this please*

Get yourself a Freesat receiver, really easy to set up, 7 day epg self updating, like a Sky box.

Yes that's exactly what I want but don't know what model to go for.

It basically depends how much you want to pay, some are SD only others HD and at the high end PVRs

Yeah there is so many to choose from. All I want is something as basic as possible all I need is a decent menu system. Thanks for the links, I will look through them but if anyone could recommend something decent and cheap please let me know.

Go for the cheapest in that case, they are basically the same.
