I have a sagem box from woolworths (£59.99 ) Never had a problem with it yet. And I'm only using a set top ariel.

I even take it to work so that i have a couple more channels to watch when i'm not busy.

At the same time I bought a bush (£49.99 ) box for the mother in law for christmas - it was really dire.

Neither have digital or even phono outputs - sorry :(

Re: Freeview
 

So Sagem is worth going for ignore the Bush, anyone tried PACE or Philips

I have an early Grundig, been in about a year, no problems. I bought my son a newer Grundig GDT2000 model in September, failed 2 weeks ago, replaced it, 2nd one failed this week. Another trip to Dixons at the weekend !

I bought the new Pace FTVA DT210F (around £70 - £80) and have been very happy with it. It has optical digital audio out.

Re: Freeview
 

I have a Pioneer, excellent stuff!

Pace boxes are pretty good too, as are goodmans.

Bought a daewoo box from Tescos today set up was easy no freezing or pixelaation on BBCi it is brilliant. Its being used on one of the other TVs so will keep you updated.

And its built in the UK or so it says on the Box

Re: Freeview
 

I remember reading somewhere that you can get a "freeview" card for sky boxes - can someone confirm this ?

Re: Freeview
 

whats the model number?

does it have digital audio out?

Re: Freeview
 

Yes you can - contact Sky, it costs £15 I think.

But if you don't have sky your better off getting subscription to a level of service with free box and install and then dropping it down to the minimum service for 12 months then getting the card as this saves the install and box costs up front.
