Hello Freesatters
We elected to join your ranks after finding out how much Sky had increased our bill to without alerting us to the price hike.
We were paying almost £500 a year, when Sky content only accounted for about 25% of our viewing.
We got a Foxsat-HDR from ebay, which seems to work just fine apart from some recording issues.
We soon worked out we needed to input our postcode and to do a full channel rescan.
As we were learning the nuances of the Foxsat box we encountered some recording issues, e.g. being told there was a recording clash when were clearly only recording 2 things.
However the real surprise was finding out how limited we were as to which channels were available during recordings;
Whilst only recording ITV (SD) there were over 50 channels that we could not view.
Whilst only recording Dave (SD) there were only 2 other channels that we COULD watch (Drama & Yesterday)
Are we doing something wrong?
If we're not, is there a freesat beginners guide that someone could recommend to help us understand the limitations of our box?
Thanks in advance
