Freeview Set Top Box Help

Can anyone help with this...

I am looking to buy a freeview set-top box but need some advice...

Currently
1) I have an old Sony TV with one scart lead
2) I have a DV player which I feed into the TV

Question

1) I need advice on a good Freeview set top box
2) With two scarts ( I think this will allow me to loop through my DVD player and into the TV which only has one scart socket)

Can you advise :)

Cheers,

Albert

    You can bye a scart extension lead to get more scart sockets. I paid about £3.50 in a local shop for mine. :EasterBun
    You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.

    If you want a good, not cheap, Freeview box then try a Humax.
    They do nice PVRs as well.

    PS They have twin scarts and RF modulators.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
