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

All Freesat boxes have a non-Freesat mode that allow you tune any channel your dish can pick up. The boxes may be missing Diseqc features but really in terms of the number of channels they can receive they are equal to any other non-Diseqc non-Freesat box (like the Ross).
