BEST Freeview box circa £30

Stevee

I'm looking for a new freeview box. I want to spend about £30 but can't decide which one to buy. I don't want some cheap rubbish, which is going to break after a few months and would rather spend a little extra.

I know that the best ones are a lot more than £30, but i'm just looking for a tidy reliable one, which will only be used infrequently. I've seen the ones on the sub £20 thread, but some replies say they're rubbish.

Have you got one that you paid around £30 for and are really pleased with it?

Any help would be appreciated so thanks in advance,

Stevee

I personally rate the boxes made by Access Devices, which are atually sold under brands such as Daewoo, Matsui etc...

I bought a Daewoo one a couple of years ago and its still going strong. It has the EPG (with TV picture still showing in corner of guide). It also has a feature I found very useful when settign up my and friends aerials which is a signal strength AND quality meter.

I'm so please with my old box i went out and bought the current model which was about 30. I haven't bothere with the TOP-UP TV option as there are planty enough channels for me to me watching !!

Here's a froogle link to my current new box (which has a new style power supplier and is lcooler to the touch):

I bought the Wharfdale DV832B last year from Argos and it cost £34.99 and am very pleased with it. They are currently selling it for £24.99 which is even better value.

I'll vouch for this too.

Bought one for my gf a couple of weeks back and it's fantastic.

7 day menus, reminders v good picture quality on an old style ariael (took the new digital one back, cause it was the same as the old one)

Only £24.99 aswell. Bargin.

Thanks to all who took time to reply.

I went to Argos and bought the Wharfedale DV832B as above and it's excellent quality for the price. After this one was mentioned I looked at THESE REVIEWS, which have nothing but positive comments about it.

Cheers folks.

A relative had a Wharfdale but it suffered from sound driops and freezing -

They've now got a Bush as recommended by What Video mag - also I have a Bush which I am happy with. Very similar interface as the Wharfdale though - must use similar software.
