For goodness sake I only want to be able to watch the occassional programme at a time convenient to me, not start a professional black market dodgy DVD business. There's no way I'll be upgrading unless I'm forced to. The money spent upgrading to freeview so far has been 4 freeview boxes for 3 sets (and that's because the Philips one stopped working properly post the switchover but that was a replacement for one that failed under guarantee so 5 boxes but 3 paid for) plus a new recorder and multiple attempts to get the aerial right and safe (as I live in a very windy bit in winter). So doing this on the cheap I estimate I've binned one tv I've had since the mid or early 1980s with no scart, two freeview boxes) and spent about £750. And is it any better? Not really - just more stations with things on I don't want to watch. Well I’ve only just got freeview recording without HD.
