4.0 out of 5 stars Back to the Future!, 2 July 2008
This review is from: FREESAT HD Digital Set Top Box GUFSAT01HD Free-to-air Satellite over 80+ FREE Channels & no Subscription Plus High Definition Channels available Free. (Electronics)
Way back in 1936 the BBC jumped from Baird's 30 line to 405 line and proudly declared this to be high definition TV. Around 1962 they jumped again to 625 lines and colour. What we have here is the latest in this long line of development - a satellite receiver capable of 1080 'lines' of resolution. Does it work? The answer is definitely YES.
The Grundig HD picture quality is a vast improvement on the normal SD, with lots of fine detail, purer colours and fewer 'artifacts'. The effect is often startling, a common term used by my friends is '3D'. Downside - nothing really, it needs an HDMI cable and a good cheap one can be bought for about a fiver. The SD picture is very slightly better with the built in Freeview receiver of my 40" Toshiba but there is nothing in it. HD channels are appearing and by Xmas you may have a choice of four or five - all free to view! Oh, yes, I forgot to say it sets itself up in about ten minutes, downloading the latest version of the operating software from the satellite, so plug in, switch on and sit back and enjoy...

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! ...What a picture, 25 Jan 2010
By B. Hassell "pentangle" (Brighton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: FREESAT HD Digital Set Top Box GUFSAT01HD Free-to-air Satellite over 80+ FREE Channels & no Subscription Plus High Definition Channels available Free. (Electronics)
Having got our brand new LED TV, apparently capable of great things we then had to acquire the input devices to reach its potential. Since there was an existing satellite dish, but no aerial, Freesat was the way to go and this has been a high quality, inexpensive solution.

It proved to be very easy to set up via an hdmi to hdmi lead. Be aware that initially it goes into 'deep thought' mode as it downloads the most recent software. This is a bit like watching paint dry as though it takes about 10 minutes, early on the progress display on the TV does not seem to advance at all. Just be patient - it has not crashed!

The results were stunning. The picture was excellent on the normal channels. Then we tried BBC HD and WOW! It was a picture like I have never seen on a TV before. Every hair, or blade of grass was so clearly defined - not sure if this is why BBC HD seems to specialise in farming programmes!

So a great, economical Freesat solution, very easy to use. Just proves how wrong Sky are on their page which is supposed to demonstrate their HD superiority. Apparently the typical cost of this kit, according to them is £250 for the box and £80 to pay someone to set it up!! And with Sky you have to pay £10 a month extra just to access their HD channels.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great picture but a few minor glitches., 27 Dec 2008
By S. Connor "octoberfox" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: FREESAT HD Digital Set Top Box GUFSAT01HD Free-to-air Satellite over 80+ FREE Channels & no Subscription Plus High Definition Channels available Free. (Electronics)
I only have a 22" HD Ready LCD TV and a Dolby Digital 5.1 AV amp.

But image quality is excellent. Even SD quality is better than my old freeview box. HD quality is very good indeed via the HDMI cable, even on such a small screen.

Sometimes the EPG crashes - but a software update would fix that.

Digital teletext is quite basic as they had to rewrite the software for the Freesat channels. They're still working on it.
