I have the Panasonic 42″ Plasma with FreesatHD integrated, i have found it to be better than SD i saw the difference when i was watching the same program on Freeview, it looked like the picture jumped out on Freesat, rather than Freeview.

To Russ Dring
“The box regularly said that the post code was invalid”,i had the same problem myself, how to fix it, you need to put a SPACE between eg not BR24GB but BR2 4GB, i hope this helps you.

I think it is worth mentioning that in the price comparison sites for Panasonic Freesat sets that although some retailers appear cheaper than John Lewis do they include a free 5 year warranty?

Also you can buy a top range Panasonic 37 LCD 800 + Humax Foxsat HD cheaper than an integrated set.

Well, I’ve left my reviews for the Humax Foxsat-HD and the Goodmans SD box. Quite apart from the fact that one’s an HD box and the other an SD, it’s interesting to see how very different they are from one another (I didn’t mention it in my reviews, but their non-Freesat modes are very distinct from one another). This would suggest that Freesat allows manufacturers a little more flexibility than Sky (where there’s comparatively little difference between receivers in terms of operation).

David Leek has Sky told you that if you go for the FTA £20.00 one off payment card you won’t be able to use your hard drive? That’s nasty.

Bought Humax on day one. Worked well until the famous lip-synv problem due to firmware upgrades. Got bored waiting for solution and exchanged it at Comets for a Grundig. The remote of the Grundig is far inferior. It is light weight, with naff buttons that have no logical lay out. The box will do until I get a panasonic all singing PVR in March! ( PS the Humax was much nicer)
