Total crap.

It's put me off the Freesat platform a little as well to be honest. I
found the picture worse than Freeview (maybe it was the cheap HDMI cable
versus the built in freeview of my samsung 42 inch plasma).

The menus were horrible, the EPG was god awful.... the remote control had
sharp plastic edging. A horrid experience!

If I went for a recondtioned Humax box would my faith be restored?

Works O.K. for me.
And at £60(ish) is not a bad way to get HD satellite.
Much cheaper than upgrading my TV aerial to get Freeview.

Oh, and you don't say which TV you are watching on.
Presumably not the 42" plasma?
