There are only two manufactures of receivers at the moment. The
Bush, Grundig and Goodmans ones are the same thing inside different
boxes. The other manufacturer is Humax, who only make an HD one. The
quality is at least as good as the ones with a Sky badge on the
front, which isn't saying much.

I saw some specific complaints (can't remember which make/model, look in
uk.tech.digital-tv if interested) that the chroma/lumi signals had been
decoded with a displacement between them, leading to colour fringes, and
were still the same on replaced boxes.

By contrast there are many manufacturers of FTA receivers and one
can select from a far wider range of products with a far wider range
of quality.

True, if you can live without a 7day EPG.
