5 out of 5 stars easy freesat   September 27, 2009

I bought this in conjuction with the install from another site as I did not want to have to go up ladders / install the dish and it was an all in deal. I bought it over a year ago and it has performed tirelessly. It is small, reliable and fairly easy to use. One annoyance is it takes a while to start up so if you have missed the start of something you cannot switch it on right away it takes 30 seconds approx to perform the start up application from standby mode.
There are plenty of sockets in the back for your needs, the satelite aerial, HD and 2x scarts being the most important. This was I believe the first freesat on the market, and my first freesat, and as it is does what is says without problems and has lasted me longer than one year I recommend it.

Bought the Humax Freesat box from BA Yeoman & Son - arrived promtly and well packaged. Excellent product, easy to set up (all automatic). As per other reviews, HDMI cable is supplied, but to upgrade, link DVD player/recorder with another one - dump the Scart leads. We now ignore Freeview as the digital signal in this part of Dorset can fragment - no trouble with sat.dish! Price has now gone down from other suppliers, but that's life.

Very easy to set up and have no complaints. It does everything it says on the box.
Bit confusing to set up favourits.But I didn't bother with that in the end because I only watch the BBC-HD channel as most of the channels are on Freeview anyway.

Been thinking of getting one of these for a while now so took the plunge. We only watched the basic channels on Sky anyway so didnt think it was worth the subscription fee. Anyway, package arrived day after order was placed, well packaged as usual from Amazon and as has already been said, It took longer to remove the Sky box than set up the Humax, plugged it in, turned it on and it asked me if I wanted to check for software updates, pressed ok and it serched for any available updates which it found and dowloaded straight away. Next `Search for available channels`, pressed ok and (I think)160 odd TV and radio channels were found and saved, whole setup was totally automatic and took about ten mins, totally idiot proof, which I was glad about.
Picture quality on the normal channels is superb, probably better than Sky and the HD channel (only one available at the moment) is stunning on the supplied HDMi cable, I have ordered a better cable so look forward to even better quality.
On screen format is simlar to Sky with the what`s on today, tommorrow etc, program info,favorites in fact all that Sky has and more.
The unit itself is much smaller than it looks in the pic which is nice, about half the size of a Sky box. Some basic remote functions are available under a flap on the front of the unit and the rear has two scarts, Hdmi, Ethernet, Usb, LNB in (sat cable), component vid, SPDIF, Audio (RCA). User manual is very comperhensive with lots of little things you would never know, unless you read it..lol
Overall I`m very pleased with it (only had it a couple of hours) but first impressions are excellent, and no more bills

Bought this from Roseparrot through Amazon. Excellent purchase experience.

The Humax arrived by FedEx. Opened, plugged in, HDMI connected and sky dish cable connected within 5 minutes. Turned on and within 5 minutes I was watching an A1 quality BBC HD picture. I highly recommend this box for very good freesat channels (both TV and Radio).
