Any branded Freesat box - any one of them, from the cheapest to the most expensive - is easier to install than a Ross box. End of. Once you get past the dish installation, which is the same for both, the Freesat box requires no more skill than to know what your home postcode is. It does everything else for you.

Once you have your Freesat box installed, you have a 7-day EPG and, if you bought one of the higher-end ones, you have the iPlayer and other on-demand services in the pipeline.

Once you have your Ross box installed you have a poxy now-and-next EPG and a range of channels from all over Europe and the near east to tune and sort through.

I feel sorry for the victims of your 'problem solving' service if you have a habit of confusing the sort of plug-and-play functionality you get from Freesat with the get-the-manual-out-and-earn-it approach you have to take with non-Freesat boxes such as the Ross.
