DVD player with built in FreeView!

Does anyone know if they are any good? and what the average price is? and, if it is better to buy seperates?

It's for a kids room, so doesn't have to be flash (more space saving), just play all DVD's and receive FreeView. I did see a DVD player on boots for £19.99 but they have sold out :(

thanks in advance guys !

    I don't think that there is a lot of such combinations on the market. For the fun of it I'v found these:

    Humax Digital Set-Top Box, DV-1000T £79.50 + £3.95
    Mustek DVB-T202 Digital Terrestrial Receiver / Freeview Box & DVD Player £84
    Goodmans GDB400DVD DVD Player with Built in Freeview Tuner £149 :eek:

    *I think* the first one is very good despite of the lowest price. Also it comes with 2-year warranty ...
