Are people getting similar results with the STBs I wonder? Do more expensive STBs pick up weaker signals?
I reckon the take-up would be much better if people realised might not have to fork out for a new aerial.
When I spoke to an aerial installer, they said that (apart from FreeviewHD) a UHF aerial would only pick up Maori and Triangle. Is this true? If that's the case why were there so many UHF aerials around?
When I saw how good FreeviewHD looks, I've been having a bit of a wobble over whether to carry on and get Sky HDi (what does the "i" stand for anyway?) . They are coming on the 5th Sep so I guess I've got a bit of time to think about it. Seems like a lot to pay for a PVR, after I've had the first 6 months free with DSE's deal.
For the same price as the Sky box you can nearly get a Blu-Ray player but still no recording facility.
What we need is a freeview-compatible BluRay/DVD/HDD recorder. That can record another channel. For less than Sky's $599. Then flick Sky off. I do like the history channel though...
