Is is too much to ask for new and current shows?

You need to move to the US then. I personally love UK Tv apart from the relentless Reality TV shows. Good luck in the US though as they are also full of reality tv shows (even more than here). You clearly are not looking very hard if you can't find any good original programming. The BBCs documentaries are worth the licence fee alone!]]>Feb 5th 2010 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/Feb 5th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/Feb 5th 2010 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/Feb 5th 2010 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/

Technically we pay a yearly amount of around £140 to watch the BBC channels and BBC iPlayer, however I am pretty sure you could watch ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 for free (Possibly also ITV2, ITV3, E4 and More4 but I can't remember if they are on Freeview).]]>Feb 5th 2010 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/While the others are free, you still have to pay a TV license if you have a TV despite that money going to the BBC...and if you don't have a TV then you get badgered about a TV license anyway as they cannot accept for some reason that some people just don't have a TV like an old lady I know.]]>Feb 5th 2010 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/Feb 5th 2010 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/Feb 5th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/humax-hd-fox-t2-is-first-freeview-hd-box-in-the-uk-garners-posi/
I cancelled my Sky sub nearly 3 years ago and aside from a few pangs I'm quite happy I did so.

DVB-T2 isn't that much different from standard DVB-T. output of 1080p and upscaling will add some cost though, although they probably ripped the guts out of their freesatHD box.

If anybody buys one of these before they have PVR capability they are nuts.
