The Sagem DSI86HD (DS186HD) is a superb value Freesat satellite set-top-box. Just plug it into your TV, connect your satellite dish and voilà, you can receive free-to-air Freesat channels with no subscription costs, including fantastic High Definition (HD) channels such as BBC-HD.
The DSI86HD features HDMI connectivity, which not only allows you to see HD channels in all their glory, but with its impressive 720p or 1080i upscaling functionality, lets you see standard definition content at HD resolutions, so they'll look at their best on your HD-ready flatscreen.
For older TVs, there's also Scart (with RGB) output and Scart pass-through from devices such as VCRs or DVD recorders. There's also a coaxial digital audio output, which is ideal for connecting the box to a surround sound system, and a stereo line output, which can be used to connect to a hifi or stereo system.
The DSI86HD is also really easy to use, thanks to its on-screen menus and simple Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) which shows you what's on for the coming week.
If you want satellite, including HD channels, without the fuss of a monthly subscription, the Sagem DSI86HB is just what you're after.
