Best Freeview Box with a weeks listings

My gran is disabled and half blind. Im looking for a freeview box that also has the weeks tv listings on it, like a sky box if you like where u can select like a "planner" to plan to view the programme. I thought this to be a good way for my gran to watch the news when she doesnt have to fiddle with the remote control and change the channels (cant see buttons well). Anything like that in existance? She and I would be very grateful. BTW - she wont be going down the sky route.

thanks a lot folks.

    I can recommend Humax who do a freeview box (fox-t) ist about £60-£70 or the two pvrs that they do (like a sky+ box) (8000 80gb hard disc, single tuner and the 9200T twin digital tuners and 160gb hard disc) All are very good well made boxes and do a EPG for 7 days. I have all three boxes btw and recommend Humax for quality builds and good support.

    As she is half blind make sure she gets a box that can pick up Audio Description when available on programmes.
