Best TV package deals for the digital switchover

[GlasgowGirl]

I found a useful article comparing the different packages on offer from Sky, Virgin and Freeview. To be perfectly honest, I didn't understand most of it, but I presume it would be useful to someone thinking of getting a new digibox!

That's very interesting! I was just surfing and found this website which may be useful to some people. A one-off payment and then you have access to all sorts of channels.

freesat - Features

I might get it when I move house in January !

I am planning to ditch Sky and get a Freesat Humax PVR. This is equivalent to Sky+ High Definition which costs £100 and £27 per month - Ok there are a few less channels but most are absolutely useless. I am pretty sure you can use the Sky satellite dish and LNB (pretty sure that is the name of the device in the centre of the dish)

Yes it says if you do not have a satellite already ( so I assume that means a Sky one is fine). You can get one installed for around £80 which is reasonable.
