Leaving Virgin - Best Freeview Box < £20?

I'm looking to bring down any unnecessary costs I have per month. When I moved home, I was locked into a BT/Be and Virgin contract. I pay £11.99/month for Virgin, £11.54 for BT and £17.88 for Be. I prefer broadband from Be, as I am a heavy user and don't want to be throttled by Virgin, in addition to their completely useless technical support!
So, anyway, now that I'm not locked to their phone line, I'm gonna cancel this week hopefully. The thing is though, I am left without the set top box. (Free M package TV with the phone line) I'm fine with the Freeview channels as we don't have the time (or money!) to catch much else. So, what is the best Freeview box I can buy for less than £20. I don't want to spend too much on a box right now, as sometime next year I would like to buy a new LCD TV/Monitor for my PC with DVB built in, to replace my current Acer Ferrari Monitor which is on the way out, but I have to keep it going for as long as possible for lack of finances!
So, what's the best I can get for < £20? Just want a nice decent and simple menu system with EPG (7 day would be nice, but not vital) and subtitles is a MUST!
