Just walked through the local car boot sale, then I spotted a Freesat HD box sat on a stall, still boxed with all the protective sleeves on the unit.

This is the same box as is being sold for £150.00 so as you can imagine I ripped is arm off when he said I could have it for £55.00

What a bargain, the HD is amazing.

Does anyone else have this box, if so does the red button only appear when HD content is available ???

ITV HD is available via the red button on all freesat HD boxes, it is not a full time channel.

Nice bargain :)

Thanks mate,

But should I be able to press red at anytime or just when something in HDS is available?

I bought a digi terrestrial box at tescos last year for £10, digital terrestrial is a diabolical low grade mess, it will soon be our main reception platform.

Another government stich up.

Have to say have a sony tv with integrated analog and digital reciever and digital is much sharper than analog, bought a cheap freeview box ALBA for kitchen its digital tv quality is very poor, then got a Panasonic dvd/hd/freeview box for the study and sony one for the bedroom both the picture is great.

All 4 run off the same aeriel, It has to be the reciever thats making the difference not the signal
