Which Freeview box to buy?

For the bedroom, my Wharfdale seems to have died, is there one which works well with an indoor aerial? Cheapish? I have a Phillips box but that really doesn't work too well with the aerial.

Not really they all need pretty much the same signal strength (+- the odd dB)
Its the aerial side you need to work on.0 -
If you do buy another, make sure it is Freeview-HD compatible so that you can receive the HD channels.
Older models are not.0 -
I can definitely recommend the SONY VTX-D800U. We had one for a number of years before we opted for satellite TV.
It never failed or crashed once, unlike the Nokia & a Philips that we had in other rooms.
There are always some for sale on Ebay.

The SONY VTX-D800U also has the best EPG of all the Freeview boxes. It's looks like SKY EPG0
