We use a Humax, Foxsat freesat box having got fed up with paying Sky and
getting very little we wanted to watch. The only disappointment is that
some
channels, Dave for instance that used to be available via Sky are not
available on Freesat but are available on digital. Sadly our digital
signal
is not very good so we are often unable to watch digital TV. The other
issue
is that when scanning through looking for what's on we now have to scan
two
programme guides instead of one and often find the prog we most prefer is
on
digital but the signal is bad and can't watch it.

Any suggestions, other than going back to Sky?

Any chance of improving your freeview reception?

Have you got a grouped aerial?

Has your area had power increased recently through DSO?

Or is it a trees and hills problem?

The freeview EPG beats freesat IMV as you can watch/listen to the current
channel whilst you are scanning the guide. AFAIIA there is no freesat box
that caches the EPG to let you do this.

We have already replaced the aerial with the biggest that the rigger could
find, and have a five channel booster box in the loft. A lot of the time the
we get a good picture, but no always. Sods law comes into play and the
picture is crap just when we want to watch something.

Our Humax freesat box shows the current channel with sound in the background
whilst scanning the guide.
