Are there any working Freesat boxes out there?

My old Sky Digibox (even older than the TiVo) seems to be playing up, it stops responding to the remote until I unplug it for 10 minutes then it is good for a day or two before it locks up again.
I worry that buying a similar Sky box it will be nearly as old as the 15 year old lump I am using atm. So hoping for some advice...
Is there a modern Freesat box out there that works, ie that isn't second hand?
If I go the ebay Sky box route, would a sky+ work ok and can I still use my expired sky card to get channels?
Worst case, I could get a TV antenna installed and maybe use Freeview.
Edit to add: This seems to have a SCART connector http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... 462323.htm
