Good freeview boxes

MoneyMonkey

Can anyone make any recomendations on freeview boxes? I am looking for something not too expensive, but also something that isn't going to fall appart in 6 months time!

I like the look of the Sony one, but it is a little expensive. Do you get what you pay for with the Freeview boxes?!

Thanks All,

MM.

I bought the cheapest one I could find - whatever the price they show the same programs! As with everything, expensive models have more bits and bobs on them than ever get used so unless you're absolutely sure you're going to use every single function - buy the cheapest and chuck it when it breaks down which may be a long time in the future!
