As title really, looking to switch to Freesat to save a bit of money. Currently with Sky with the Sky+HD 2TB box.
The only channels that I would miss would be Atlantic and F1, however not really gonna have much time to watch the F1 this season. As for Atlantic I would just look at a NowTV pass if I particularly wanted anything on Atlantic.
Freeview/YouView is not really an option for us as our local transmitters (Rhondda and Ton Pentre) are PSB only so only have BBC/ITV/4/5 channels and being in the valleys we are in a blackspot for the Wenvoe transmitter, which is our nearest commercial transmitter.
I have read that Sky provide an option to retain the record function for a monthly fee, so my question is really do sky still offer this and any idea on how much it would be? @MissChief, also is it better to stick with the Sky box or look into getting the Humax HDR-1100S or wait until the new 4k Freesat+ box is released? Bearing in mind I only have a 1080p TV with no plans to upgrade to 4k any time soon.
TIA
