I'm getting rid of my Sky subscription and swapping to Freesat, so have been looking for a deal on a Humax 1100s. £179 isn't a bad price, but Tesco have a deal on until 6th June where you get £20 off (enter the code below at check out), making this £159. You also get £159 worth of tesco clubcard points, and can collect from a tesco store for free. Great price to say I was about to pay £154 for a refurbished one.

I did the same a few months ago....got rid of Sky and went with this box...one of the best decisions i have made. If you had sky before just insert you old sky cable into the box and press auto setup.Easy as pie!

Ignoring the channel line up, how does this Freesat box compare with the youview dtr-t2100? I've been very impressed with the latter and it's just had a major interface update however this time of year leaves grow on the trees and my freeview signal is quite bad. Has the original Freesat humax PVR and it was quite slow with a poor interface compared to today's equivalent. So does anyone know what these are like and whether humax have out what's its leant from youview into these Freesat boxes?

You can get the BT branded version of the Humax DTR-T2100 for amazing prices on eBay, news ones usually sell for under £100 and pre-owned ones for around £50-60.
The common misconception is, even though it is branded BT, you don't need to be a BT Internet user. You just won't be able to access the BT TV services, but the recording function and on-demand players all work a dream.
Refurbished £149 with warranty from Humax Direct FWIW.

Yeah but add delivery on (£4 I think it was), and you're only a fiver or so off the tesco price for a brand new one, so I still think it's a good deal.

So is it like a freeview box just with record function? What channels do you get and will you need a satellite dish? Sorry to ask but iam interested

It's a freeview box but uses a satellite dish instead of an aerial. You can record live tv, pause, rewind, series link, it can stream netflix through wifi. You don't get sky channels etc, just free channels.

Me too, got shut of Virgin recently after picking up a Humax 4000 for a price I couldn't refuse. Not regretting it either and the box has the bonus of Freeview Play. BBC iplayer now starts up quickly and runs without issue, unlike the TiVo box that's just been returned.

I have an earlier model, it's running faultlessly and in three separate homes. Some Freeview channels in HD are not so on Freesat and vice versa btw.

My local Tesco Extra have one of these in the clearance for £132.50. I have the previous model otherwise would have bought the one locally.

Here for example is a new on eBay for £75...
