Lastly consider whether you want a HD or SD box. There is something
to be said for getting a SD box now. When the HD PVR arrives one of
these can be bought and the SD box relegated to secondary use.

If considering a Freesat branded box be aware that:

The Bush, Goodmans and Grundig SD boxes are internally identical but may
have different prices. They are just brand names used by Alba.

The Freesat SD boxes appear to be limited (crippled) to only receiving
the Freesat channels. Other boxes in the market can receive other free
to air channels but they will not show the Freesat EPG. (The Humax
Foxsat Freesat HD box (£150) can be tuned to other non-freesat
channels.)
