[QUOTE="cjgall, post: 520254, member: 175963"] As I will be in the UK visiting family anyway so there are no extra costs. There are several reasons why I will buy an official freesat box. [LIST] [*]Compatibility, I don't want to mess about manually rescanning after each freesat change or have to wait for the firmware upgrades to become available. [*]Future proof. [*]I use the red button interactive services. [*]EPG, UK TV listing magazines are is quite expensive abroad. I know I can get listing online3 but I find the EPG very useful. [*]Auto-view to trigger my Hard Disk-DVD recorder. [*]The ethernet port looks promising although it will probably not work from abroad unless the broadband router is connected to a proxy server in the UK [/LIST] I will retain my Topfield PVR for versatility for the time being but will eventually replace this with a HD-PVR version.
