7" digital tv/photo frame/mp3 player £55

Borders Books are selling these for £55. I've seen them instore but can't find them on the website.

The Elonex website price them at £99.

I was tempted but imagine that they need an additional aerial to pick up a Freeview signal.

    I bought one of these from Asda Direct a week or so ago to stand in the kitchen (switchover happens here in August) and yes, have found the aerial supplied with it doesn't pick up many channels (unsurprisingly) but when connected to a better aerial it produces a lovely picture and sound. The remote is easy to use and the photo function also seems easy to configure. It is very white, with a clever adjustable stand.

    A few reviews here:

    I'm pleased!

    Having read the reviews I think I'll get one. On the basis of it being a useful gadget & the tv signal should be stronger once analogue shuts down & digital strengthens(later this year in the Granada region).
    I note that they're reduced to £50 by ASDA (but showing as out of stock)

    Asda have this item back in stock (linky) for £50, but it now doesn't come with an aerial. We got one a few days ago, cannot fault it, plays Mpeg4 & AVI movies just fine and it means I can now watch Hollyoaks upstairs without Marley moaning!
