    Which HD satellite is best? Triad one I bought in PowerCity, but you could not sort the Favorites in order of your own preference. I am looking for something as simple to use as the Lidl Silverstream.

    Maybe a Humax? Or a Sagem?

    been researching this one for the past two hours and am going with the Humax. no PVR, i just don't record so just the simple receiver for me. THE 8 DAY programme guide with freesat sold me. free to air is fine but it's nice to know what's on

    I've the Humax freesat hd box (not pvr) and after only a few months it started acting up and is now almost unusable. Won't receive a signal even though a cheap ferguson receiver which is melted from a fire, picks up signal fine, as does my pc. The interface was great when it was working though.

    You should contact whoever you bought it from, if purchased new.
