"Does what it says on the box"
What I like:
It has enabled me to receive quality TV pictures without SKY
What I don't like:
Not a great deal. Manual could be a little more user friendly.
Review:
I live in a rural area where I am only able to get TV reception via a satellite dish. The new Humax Freesat set top box has enabled me to get quality pictures without having to pay the high prices commercial enterprises charge.
I am absolutely delighted with this product which has improved on the standard of pictures I have been paying through the nose for over the last 8 years.
My only slight difficulty with the set-up programme was linked to submitting my post code which ensures you get the correct local channels. This was easily overcome with friendly advice from the Freesat helpline.
Apart from the excellent pictures, the sound quality is really good too. The remote is intuitive and everything about Freesat I find delightful.
An excellent investment.
