Sky Freesat

My parents are thinking about getting Sky's Freesat.
I have had Sky+ for a while now and can't remember whether the FreeSat (I
presume it's the same as the normal Sky equipment), has two tuners to enable
watching one channel and record another?

Cheers
Robert.

All Freesat is is the FTA and FTV channels.

If you order FreeSat From Sky for the £150 it will be a standard box.

Nothing stopping you buying a Sky+ box and ordering a FreeSat viewing
card and then asking them to enable the £10 per month Sky+ function.

You could however join Sky Digital online going via Quidco. Using
Quidco you get £50 cash back, with the lowest subscription being £15 per
month, a years viewing would be £180 - £50 = £130, thus being £20
cheaper than FreeSat, plus you get some subscription channels. After
the 12 months phone up and cancel the subscription and you then have the
FreeSat service as over 100 channels are free anyway and require no
subscription.

Thanks for the answers guys,

They have a £135* voucher to use up at Currys/Dixons so they were going to
order through them. I just couldn't remember whether the standard Sky box
had 2 tuners, one to record and another to watch.

*BTw They went in to Currys to just have a look at a new TV, then I was
going to shop around for them. However they came away with a TV/DVD Recorder
package with a stand, anyway they got 2 stands delivered so they took one
back and said they no longer required it and got a £135 voucher!
