Humax Foxsat-HDR review
Our Rating :
Price when reviewed : £294
inc VAT [/vc_column_text]
HD broadcasts are still rather thin on the ground for our liking – largely limited to prime-time drama and sport – so it’s hard to recommend the Foxsat-HDR over Freeview purely on that basis. If you already have a Minidish, Freesat is a tempting free alternative to Freeview or satellite subscription services. At £294 including VAT, it will take some time to recoup the costs of switching from Sky+. Still, for those living in areas with a poor Freeview signal, the Foxsat-HDR is ideal.
