set top boxes, sky and freesat, freeview

Pickers · 13-12-2012, 19:52

Ok, I'm a bit lost and dont really know where to start! Without going into detail, sky are crap and after trying time take them up on an offer of movies for £8, they came back quoting a price £ 14 more than I currently pay. Needless to say I told them there and then that I'm leaving them totally.

Now, I have sky+ HD box, a tv with built in freeview and a Sat dish etc. But can't record with either once sky contract is up.

I'd like to be able to record tv and get hd if possible, so have been looking at bt vision. Otherwise I pay a lot for a freesat HD box with HDD inside.

I'd like to do something with my raspberry pi but put simply I'm not smart enough. Anyone have any tips on good deals??

Many thanks!!
