Using Freesat in Liphook - Jane G (29th Aug 2012 - 10:03:12) We are considering moving from Sky to Freesat and just wondered if anyone in Liphook is using this and if the signal is any good? Many thanks Jane

Re: Using Freesat in Liphook - Boris (29th Aug 2012 - 10:37:21) Freesat is first class. No problems. I use a Humax Foxsat Hdr Freesat+ box which allows pause,rewind live tv and records. You also get to watch HD channels if you tele is HD ready.

Re: Using Freesat in Liphook - John G (29th Aug 2012 - 13:00:42) Hi, yes Freesat is excellent - we have the same set-up as Boris. In fact, the signal for the free channels is the same as used by Sky, just rebranded as Freesat. I believe there may eventually be a Freesat version of Youview coming, but probably not for a year or two.

Re: Using Freesat in Liphook - Jan (29th Aug 2012 - 14:45:55) I have had freesat for the past three years, and it's excellent, a wide selection of channels, and no problems with reception.

Re: Using Freesat in Liphook - John G (6th Sep 2012 - 17:07:15) Freesat have just announced a new version - Freetime to be launched before Christmas. This looks really good and the boxes are around £279.00 which is not much more than the current good ones. Might be worth hanging-on until they launch or else wait to buy one of the existing boxes as their prices will probably drop beforehand.
