We're pretty keen on Freesat, since it's the only way to get high definition channels for your eyes and on your telly, without having to shell out a monthly subscription fee. And in a couple of weeks, when it launches, you'll be able to record said eye-goodness on their new Humax Foxsat-HDR.
The £299 box has got a dual tuner, with a 320GB hard drive for 80 hours of HD or a mammoth 200 hours of standard def programming. There's your normal pause, rewind and series recording, as well as schedule tracking (for changes to the advertised scheule) and an 8 day EPG.
Freesat itself provides you with the normal freeview channels, as well as BBC HD and ITV HD. So, it's not currently a massive range of HD channels, but we may well see it increase as more frequency bandwidth gets released towards 2012.
