Hey all does anybody use the freeview HD on there Samsung H6400 the reason i ask is was thinking on getting the aerial on our roof sorted for the freeview HD. With the euro's around the corner wouldn't mind watching it on normal tv. Then something on KODI. At the moment we have an old sky box plugged into our sammy which is downstairs. Thats not HD. Not intrested in getting sky. My question is the freeview tuner on the H6400 anygood or i would i be better off getting a freeview HD box and using that via HDMI. Or just change the sky box for a sky HD box. What would give me a better pic all round. Thanks on any help
 
Sorry no we do not have sky we just use the sky box for freeview really we cancelled sky over a year ago. the tv does have freeview hd. But was wondering if a freeview hd box would give us a better viewing then the in built tuner
 
Yea looking at the Freesat boxes they look ideal for what we want. Not intrested really in freetime cause the tv has a lot of the apps that offers. all we want is a decent HD pic good sound and record tv and pause live tv. Any recommendations please Psycho anything from £150 to £200 be fine
 
There is deffo a few ways of doing it only downside to be honest not sure what channels the mrs wants to keep using the free sky channels to the freeview channels. I don't really have a say in this matter i work away month on and month off so it be for her mainly and the kids

If freesat gives me simlar channels to what we get now for free with sky then thats the one we will go for. I don't mind paying £150 to £200 on a freesat box if its going to give a good hd pic and sound. not saying freeview wouldnt be good enough from the TV. Just think we are used to the channels from sky
 
If we do change then it will be Freesat. But im just wondering if the price of the Humax boxes is really worth the upgrade. The planner exc maybe better then the one on the TV. But a lot of the apps i get on the Samsung anyways. If i didn't have a Smart tv then it would be deffo worth buying one. Recording tv and everything else would be easier via the Humax. Just trying to figure out if the £150 is really worth the upgrade.Im going to look into it first thing. There is a lot i want sorting this week as its the last week off before i go away

Im trying to justify if its worth the upgrade to freesat then using the Freeview. The Humax boxes have had mixed reviews on the one's ive seen. And the apps are roughly the same as on the Samsung smart hub. Don't get me wrong things will be better on the box like recording and pausing live tv exc
 
Done it got it sorted my mate is going to do the rooms that need doing with Freeview everything in for £120. Which to do it with Freesat would have cost a lot more and the channels on the sky Freesat there is no channels me mrs would miss so its all sorted now. Freesat boxes wouldn't of give us much to offer apart from the recording and pausing live tv. If we do miss anything we normally catch up on KODI anyway. So all done and dusted getting it fitted tom. Thanks for your input chaps :)
