RE: OT: Bye Bye Sky

I've got the Humax Freesat HD PVR and I must say its fantastic.  Much
better and easier to use than Sky+ in my opinion, and double the usable
capacity.

I thought it did get Sky News through it, though I definitely don't get
Dave.

If we want to watch Dave we switch back to freeview.  Your not going to
want to record Sky News are you.

I've cancelled the Sky HD sub - so in 2 weeks I need to replace.

Plan was to get a Humax Freesat HD PVR - but it will still miss channels
like Sky News and perhaps Dave etc. You can get Sky News etc in
non-freesat mode, but I think this is only viable on a adhoc basis - you
cant record ?

So, I'm thinking FreeSat HD PVR + Freeview non-pvr box (which has HDMI)

Anyone recommend a decent Freeview box with HDMI ? (non-pvr)
