Let's be honest, most people stay with their satellite or cable providers because they want to have the extra channels over and above the basic five terrestrial ones and also to have the facility to record programmes (including series link) as well as the be able to pause and rewind live broadcasts. Even with a basic service, a charge of £30-£40 per month is not uncommon (this will include a broadband package of course). For a one-off payment of £49.95, I've got all the extra channels I need (at least fifteen in HD) with the Goodmans Freeview+ box. Pause, rewind, series link all there, sufficient storage for 300 hours of programmes in standard definition - hardly any difference to HD to be honest. Easy to set up, easy to use. If you want all the subscription sports channels then this is not for you clearly and bear in mind you will need a co-axial cable attached to an outdoor aerial which is capable of receiving a digital signal (to have that installed will be between £100-£200 if you don't have it but the majority of house will have this anyway, I'm sure). For the internet, it will be necessary to take out a separate broadband/landline package but you are talking about £18 a month for an ASDL line. For me it's saving something like £20 a month using an excellent product that works really well, to use the cliche, it does what it says on the box.Read full review

I bought this as a backup to my humax freesat, the idea to use it in the bedroom and take on holiday. Although reconditioned it looks brand new, the plus points are that it has twin tuners, HD and a large hard disc. It is small enough to take on holiday and is extremely easy to set up and use, a lot easier than my humax box.
