Parents have the Panasonic box, got it from John Lewis. They are pleased with it.

I think, not much in the way of outputs, just a single scart. The 30 has phono outs though.

Re: Freeview
 

What is the idea behind freeview?

Re: Freeview
 

Re: Freeview
 

You can but you wont get any channels worth having. To get ITV, FOUR And Five you will need another Solus card for about £35. You will not get ITV2, UK History, Sky Travel, The Hits, TMF, FTN, UK Bright Ideas, Sky Sports News, Sky News on the Sky 'Free to View service' Just a whole host of cracking shopping channels!!

Re: Freeview
 

You get free channels??

The basic idea is to convert the uk from analogue to digital broadcasting in a governement provided initative, and of course give the viewer more choice and services.

Re: Freeview
 

So do you think QVC, Bidup.tv, Pricedrop.tv, FTN, UK Bright Ideas, TVG Travel Shop and Sky Travel are worth having then? :eek:

I think not. They are all crap in their own special way. Other than that, the other channels are not too bad on the Freeview package, but it could be better!

Re: Freeview
 

There are new channels coming. Disneys will be the first due around jan 4th I think. Its going to be called Daytime. Then channel four have announced another channel called More4

Oh and TCM have a licence for FREEview too but have announced nothing as yet

Re: Freeview

Re: Freeview
 

No, the OP meant you would not get ITV2 on a Satellite STB with a Free-to-View card.
