Marco, can I add to the discussion please.
Originally we had Freesat installed by Currys. When it went awry they didn't want to know because the 12 month guarantee was up.
So we went Freesat with a local independent dealer and I'm glad we did. We had a small problem and they came and fixed it for free the same day as I contacted them. Yes we paid more than Currys but we get excellent after-care service.
The Humax (which we use) recorders are excellent and I don't think you can go wrong with them.
