Best and cheapest small diggi box

I already have a Freeview box on the main TV but want to be able to pick this up on a portable TV. What is the cheapest small diggi box that is recommended.

  • Argos do one for £30 which is pretty small. Think you can get one now that just plugs into your scart lead and is so small it is part of it so no box! Is that expensive from what I remember, can't remember the stockists/manufacturer. But it was on MSE I seen it!

    This is the one you mean.

    I haven't seen it in many places, but Studio Cards have it for £49.99

    Great idea as people have so many boxes and gadgets under their t.v's now

    Makro had it last week for 39.99 plus vat but I don;t know what model but it was on the front page of the offers. It looked about the size of the scart on the end of the scart lead. It seems to plug straight into the back of your tv. Not sure how it works though.
  • Thanks but the TV I want to attach the digibox to has no scart connection, any suggestions

    With no scart you will need a box with an rf modulator to feed into the aerial socket. Unfortunately I recall they are quite rare. A good one is the Humax Fox F2
