Sky, Freesat, Free to air, or for foreign subscription channels?

I think the subject gives a clue.

It depends if you want to record with it. If so, I've been pleased with the
Humax Foxsat HDR. The software is rather clunky, to be honest, although I
understand its competitors are even more so.

One that records the programmes that you want to watch.

Try the digitalspy freesat forums or read a copy of What Satellite.

Humax Foxsat HDR. *The software is rather clunky, to be honest, although I

The Sagem has simpler usage and menu structure and is good if you dont
want loads of facilities although it is a bit more "plasticky". On
direct comparison, the HD pic is not quite as good though.

The Technisat HDFS produces superb pictures and in direct comparison,
almost better than the Humax and the SD pics are excellent. It is a
basic single tuner box but you can plug a portable hard-drive into it
to make it a pretty good PVR which will record direct from the full
Freesat EPG. (Remember..single tuner though). It also makes a very
good multi-satellite box if you switch it out of Freesat mode and it
works with Disec switching.
