MikeB: Hi there.
My main TV is a four years old Flat Screen Samsung, with Built in HD Freeview.
I actually use two Humax Freesat receivers both connected to the TV via separate HDMI: A Foxsat sockets; a Foxsat-HDMR, with 320gb hard drive, and a new receiver with 500gb hard drive and "Freetime", Humax/Freesat's on demand EPG.
In some ways I prefer the older Foxsat, because it more easily allows the viewing & storing of the 300+ non-Freesat other channels (adult, and at the moment the "Talking Pictures" vintage film channel)
channel.
There is very little on Freeview, the terrestrial service, that isn't on Freesat, so I don't it much.
Basically, if you've a Sky satellite dish, keep your aerial plugged in for Freeview, and plug a Freesat DVR in the Sky satellite connection.
