It's a good 10 - 20 times faster than VM's offering - no 'please wait, just loading', no freezes, no reboots.
Why is a one-off £25 box from the supermarket capable of better basic dtv function than cable's service?
Freeview boxes, including PVR's, are just as unreliable and need reboots as with VM, in my experience.

What make/model of Freeview box did you buy?
