I've just bought one in Asda for £20. It's brilliant.

It also stands up on its side rather than laying flat which is great for anyone with limited space

Anyone got any new deals regarding the freeview boxes with a card slot.

I want to get Setanta sports (so I can watch my beloved Droylsden in the conference) and just have the standard freeview box at the moment.

Setanta do offer a box at £39.99 which I think is pretty good as you can go back to them if it goes wrong and they are currently offering the first month free!!

After reading more on the Setanta site they are selling a Sagem box that they say is also available in Poundstretcher/Instore shops - anyone got one?!
