With analogue television scheduled to be switched off within the next few years, it's time to consider your digital options. While belt and braces digital TV packages can have their prices hammered down using my Digital TV Cost Cutting technique, monthly subscriptions do mount up, especially if you only watch a fraction of the hundreds of channels.
Yet there's an easy and cheap solution; Freeview. For a one off purchase of a set-top box, you'll permanently get 30 TV channels, and 20 radio stations. All you need to know is whether you can receive the signal in your area; to check, and for all the details, see the official site: Freeview.
And, great news! The cost of Freeview boxes has been falling, and is now at a very affordable low. Aldi currently have a Tevion freeview box available in-store for £23.99, while online at Tesco Direct you can get a Digilogic Freeview Receiver for £24.97. And while I'm never the biggest advocate of paying more for branded goods, you can even get a Bush set-top box from Argos for £29.99.
These are very cheap products, but there may be some available even cheaper. Please let us and other MoneySavers know by replying to this post.
