hi all

Im looking for a HD freeview set top box and at least 1x HDMI and 1080p support.

I also want iplayer support but im not sure if that comes as standard? Recommendations welcome!

so far ive found this but im sure it supports iplayer http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5322408/c_1/1|category_root|Home+entertainment+and+sat+nav|14419512/c_2/3|15701169|Digital+boxes+and+services|14419633/c_3/4|cat_14419633|HD+Freeview|21455997.htm?_$ja=tsid:11527|cc:|prd:5322408|cat:home+entertainment+%3E+digital+boxes+and+services#tabrev

If you can stretch an extra £30 or less Id get a Humax Foxsat HD, they are one of the most reputable freesat hd boxes and does iplayer.

Im using one now and Im really happy with it.

I think there is a hack as well if you want to pick up the non freesat channels, but I think its either one mode or another at any one time, not tried it though.

Might be able to get it for less with vouchers, I got mine from Richersounds with a few vouchers and got a good price.

satellite tv can be a nice hobby

I has a genuine one of these, but this  chinese clone is just as good

Especially if you want to watch premiership football at 3pm on a saturday

Ive got a Humax foxsat freesathd box and it is pretty good and has iplayer support too.

Also just noticed MSE has a new article on this..

i do have the option to go with either freesat or freeview as the previous owners of the house left the dish. There doesnt seem to be as many channels on freesat thou unless im missing something?

that hd fox t2 does look nice - no mention of iplayer tho

There are tons more on Freesat than on Freeview.
goto a friends house who has Sky & pull his card out... all the channels that still work, you will get on freesat.

Sky freeview and free sat are different, I have both boxes here, freesat is much better...

As for the FoxSat HD it definitely has iplayer support, I use it, although its only recent and may require a firmware update as didnt have it when I bought it, but got an over the air update..
