Good luck. I went with FreeSat and the Humax Foxsat HDR. But I also have an
appointment for a Virgin Media fibre broadband hook-up in around a week just
to see if it really can deliver 50Mbps.

I don't understand these claims from Virgin. Broadband delivered over your
phone line is also Fibre-optic within the exchange.

When you get Virgin's "fibre optic" broadband, they don't give you a fibre
connection, it's still co-ax.

So they are both "Fibre Optic Broadband" to some extend, but neither is Fibre
to the home.
