I'm on O2 but the £10/month package. We have three of us in our flat, often using it at the same time, and it works fine

Who you getting to install your freesat? I'm getting it done in the new year - let me know if they're any good.
Apparently I can connect it to my current sky dish. Guess I'll soon find out.. |

Ah, I haven't got a dish so need to get one installed. I'm going for the Freesat+ I think.

Freeview + (if that's what they're calling it now) is really useful. Bought my box a year ago for £80.

It's freesat+ - a freesat box that records / pauses HD TV.

I know that. I meant a HD recorder for normal freeview. Didn't know if they called that something special.

I just checked as I'm sad and have nothing better to do. It is called freeview +.
But it is dead handy. I can't imagine not being able to pause something live, or point the tv guide somewhere and pressing record without having to set up timers.

You can't get HD through an aerial as the bandwidth is too small. Looking forward to having some actual HD T on my HD ready TVs. |

Connected my freesat HD box today. Hopefully they'll bring more HD channels out. The ITV one isn't like the bbc hd channel. It only appears now and again, like the footy for example. Def worth it though especially for under £150.
As for the broadband, under £10 for 11meg. Happy days.

Can't get o2 broadband as the haydon wick exchange is not longer in use and they haven't the capability from the blunsdon exchange!
