Good job my TV in my bedroom already has digital TV in it. But the living room TV still has the "digi box" so my rents will have to purchase a new TV before 2011

FreesatHD
is the best
with ITV HD and BBCHD
One Off to buy it
and works on a Sky Dish.
Freeview in some places will never be picked up
so FreesatHD is the best out there
And more channels than out of date Freeview

If your TV has a HDMI connection
then Freesat HD
If not
then Freesat.

It was used as a Test.
To find out how many old had problem changing.
And how many could not get Freeview at all.
And Reports showed a Whole Valley Angry as they could not have Cable or Freeview.
Freesat at that time was still being worked on.
Many had no choice but to have Sky.

Ahh yeah because Wales is remote and will be harder to pick up signal than somewhere central like London.

One bloke in a remote area in Devon
was very Angry with the BBC
as he could never pick up Freeview.
He phoned Radio 5.
At that time Freesat was not out
