300 notesThat's what I was expecting but I was hoping against all the odds that it would be cheaper.
As an aside does anyone know if this will need two cables from the sat dish ala Sky+?

Oh, dash it all.
This is in many ways the Holy Grail of no-subscription TV, and the one i've been waiting for.
At 300 bad boys, looks like i may be waiting a little longer.
I have around £700 to spend on the entire home cinema set-up, i already have a really good upscaling DVD player, but i think i'll get a good TV with normal freeview built in, and save up more pennies for this in the future.

The same reason we have for all these types of gadgets... its too much effort.
2 tuners = 2 cables...
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
I like projects...
All those things MSIC said are possible to get the way you want in a HTPC but i guess it wudnt quite be the same. The way i look at it if you build a nice HTPC then upgrade to keep up with new formats/technolgy/codecs etc
Hopefully it'll spark Sky into cutting its HD costs, and then result in the Humax box dropping down a touch too.
As far as I'm aware, Sky's HD box costs £399 without a HD subscription - so Humax/Freesat figures its cheaper by a £100.
I agree with MISC, though. I'm wanting to get the FOXSAT-HDR box, but it's a bit too pricey for now.
