I have a Humax Freeview HD box, and it is great. You do get a different selection of channels between Freesat and Freeview, so your decision may come down to whether you have a particular channel you want.

I got one of these http://www.humaxdirect.co.uk/product.asp?ProdRef=10095 for my Mum & Dad. Great bit of kit, you can also transfer AVI films, photos and music onto the hard drive from a usb stick.
