Is that more than you can ever possibly watch Faust?

Stick with Free FVP4000 or go with Humax Freesat ?

I wouldn't move to Freesat if I were you - they don't have Channel 4 HD.Not really a deal breaker for many I would have thought. We record most of our programmes in SD as we’re quite happy with the PQ plus we get more recordings on the PVR that way.
Either you have very small TV or sit too far away from a larger TV to not see the picture artefacts arising from trying to watch upscaled TV on a larger screen.
Either way perhaps you need to visit specsavers,
Even on a smaller TV the much more efficient H264/AVC video compression codec used on HD channels is very evident if you get close enough. Not to mention the the superior audio AC3/AAC used on HD channels,
Even at 73 I can instantly spot a a low bitrate SD source displayed on my high end Panasonic Full-HD - TV
Why buy a Full-HD modern PVR when any of the older DVB-T models would work just as well ?

When compared to the monochrome 12 inch Bush we had as a child complete with screen magnifier (you will know what I mean Graham) today’s TV is a blooming marvel, even in SD.

I remember Kenny Everett saying one Saturday morning that he would rather watch a colour test card than a programme in B/W. What a brilliant comedian that man was.

A coloured filter blue at the top and green at the bottom. OK for Grass and Sky but useless for anything else
First colour TV I ever saw was a Baird at an Ideal Home Exhibition in London.
