Hi Damon, To answer your question, I have actually been given a new TV by my parents, which although second hand, has a larger screen, and this included a Freeview box. Had I not been given this TV, I still would have gone for Freeview over sky because of the fact that Freeview is a one-off cost, where as, sky has to be paid for in instalments. However, taking into account what you've said regarding the way AD can be recorded when using sky, I may reconsider in 2011 when the midlands is switched over to digital TV.
