Freesat is branded and designed for UK usage, it gives you a 7 day epg and if you want free UK only channels (with possibly some added extras like iplayer/pvr on some boxes) then a freesat box is ideal. If though you want a cheap box that doesn't have the EPG but has a few more channels (though some of them can be foreign) and Diseqc abilities like Multiple LNB's or motorised system then FTA is great.

So your choice would be UK simplicity or a cheap expandable system that might be more complicated.
