New Humax box

Gives me a wider choice BL: I also have a NOWTV box, which I have never used after blagging it free from Currys while buying Sky TV, Bband, phone & calls. Never used it, but there are passes with it which remain current. Netflix is available on the box, other Paid services, Youtube. Although Netflix is about to increase to a monthly £7.99 in the UK. There is an ethernet port in the TV, so the world is my lobster, Rodney!

There are several features of Freesat that I like, one of which is Freetime:    http://tinyurl.com/y8oy3ebz

Rolling back across 6 channels, as in On Demand, but this can be done on the EPG by just moving the remote button back on any of those channels, up to 7 Days. I like the look of the EPG and have seen it in action on a mate’s TV. Sky for me had so many irrelevant channels, which you could not remove. There are some like that on Freesat, but there is a way to remove them. The Sky channels, films and box sets, were too American for me. Most of what we were watching was British, although I was hooked on GOT, started watching others and just became turned off by all the American stuff, most of which is over-acted and full of too much violence. American “comedies” were, for us, about as funny as a wet weekend in Wigan. No replacement for Robin Williams has ever been found over there. If I’m going to be bored or p****d off watching a TV programme, I’d rather not have to pay a subscription to do it!  And free British rubbish is still better than paid-for American garbage! IMHO…

Also I believe that TV, in fact all entertainment at home, is changing. I don’t think Sky will last beyond the next decade, certainly in its present form.
