Digital TV boxes.
 

Anyone out there who can recommend a good one to pick up the free channels?:dozey:

Re: Digital TV boxes.
 

Would that be on Freeview or satellite?

Re: Digital TV boxes.
 

I assume you mean a Freeview box ?

Edit: Moved to Other DTV Discussion Forum.

sorry,should have made myself clear, yes I mean Freeview. Any ideas on which one to get?:dunce:

Re: Digital TV boxes.
 

the one that matches the rest of your gear should be ok , not a lot to choose tbh , except for maybe a slot if you are going to go for top up tv :erm: , happy shopping :D :D :D

Re: Digital TV boxes.
 

if you do not want top-up tv, then amazon.com has a sagem for 39.99 and an alba for 49.99 both are ok for freeview but incopatible with top-up tv

Went for the Philips DTR500 at £65 from Amazon, also at £70 in Tescos. Top up TV looks a bit crap for the money.

Re: Digital TV boxes.
 

You should have got an Echostar or a Setpal, the tuners are rather sensitive and even work here, where the analogue is quite frankly ****.

Its a case of try it and see how it goes. If it is any good I will pass on the recommendation.

Re: Digital TV boxes.
 

Make sure it has audio in/out as well as scart if you want to get the sound into a hifi or surround sound system, dual scart would also be an advantage.

Got my mum a Phillips, it works very well. The speed of the EPG and interactive is amazing after using Ntl's EPG/ interactive.

The philips DTR500 is a fantastic bot of kit,idiot proof to set up and operate with fantastic picture quality. :clap:
