About the Goodmans GFSAT200HD Digital Receiver
The Goodmans GFSAT200HD High Definition freesat Digital Box was released shortly after Freesat’s launch on 6-May-08. Whilst suffering the same as the other Alba Group models due to software recalls, the Goodmans has proven itself as a solid mid-range Freesat Digital Box, with its closest competition being both the Grundig and Humax. The Goodmans GFSAT200HD brings you good quality picture in both SD and HD, and offers a LNB in/out connection allowing you to piggyback another digital box without the need for another cable from the satellite dish (although a seperate cable from the satellite is highly recommended). The EPG (electronic programme guide) is basic but simple to use. Please note that this Goodmans Freesat HD Receiver is now able to add free to air channels not listed in the Freesat EPG; this was not available from launch.

Good unit while it regularly locks when viewing EPG and needs to be rebooted by disconnecting the power. Not sure the reason for this but it would be appreciated if Goodmans corrected this one blemish.

Did have problem with box locking when on Guide also with lipsync. However once I rescanned and got rid of all the non Freesat channels both problems were resolved. An excellant box for the price.

A good enough box, with the HD proving excellent throughout the Olympics and various other sporting events. However, when putting my TV on standby it never comes back on, requiring a reboot of the Freesat Box.
The guide is functional enough, if a little basic and cheap in its presentation. Good box for the price, but was only purchased as the ariel in my block of flats was replaced and my Freeview was rendered useless. I would not have purchased this on its own merits, as there isn’t enough on Freesat to pull me from Freeview. However, this is more a comment on Freesat, and not the box itself which is, as I have said, good for the price but in hindsight I would have waited for a PVR version.

Very good box except for the lock ups when using Red Button Services (corrected by switch off/on). Would also like two features added to the “non-freesat” section, ability to sort the channels and to key 4 digit channel numbers.
