Freeview box - £10 @ Tesco!

Kevan_Parker

Watch out for "Freeview" new areial Ripoffs, when checking freeview avalability. we get a good signal and freeview works on a portable set top arieal no one tells you that! so set top areials work ok upstairs and our old loft arieal does OK downstairs except in times of atmospheric pressure differences (High pressure) when we are outside Sun bathing or on Holiday!

mpython

methinks we have a new troll joining us.....

Tried huge Stockport Extra , and Handforth Dean stores but not in either , other customers complaining about tesco advertising them and then not having them , puts you off shopping in Tesco , this will probably backfire on them

None left at Tesco in Denton, they had a full pallet yesterday (Girl said they got 500 and virtually everyone who went in was buying one, looked to be about 300 units left yesterday when I bought mine at 11am) and they had all gone today by 11.30am

Official Insert From Martin with additional info

This is by far the cheapest new Freeview box we've seen; around half the cost of any previous ones meaning 40 extra TV channels & lots of radio channels without ever paying another penny.

This Techwood box previously retailed at £30, and includes everything you need to make your analogue telly work after the digital switchover. Full product specs (thanks to MoneySaver 'digitaltoast' for this link)

Where's it available?

• Instore: The £10 box should be available at all Tesco Extras (the really, really big ones), and at a smaller number of regular Tescos.
  
  If you find one in a regular Tesco, please report which one it was in the discussion below so other MoneySavers can benefit.

• Online: The box was available online briefly on Wed, but unfortunately it's now sold out and isn't expected to be re-stocked.

What is Freeview?

It's a terrestrial digital box - in other words you simply plug it into your normal TV aeriel and you can get a lot more channels - over 40 more and you never need pay another penny (plus a whole host of digital radio stations too).

You should always check you're in an area with a strong enough signal (at http://www.freeview.co.uk/home) though actually this isn't always reliable and you're best to ask neighbours if their Freeview works or borrow a box from someone.

Midnight Thursday 30th. :j

I've just come from Tesco Glossop (SK13) which is 24 hour but not a Tesco Express store. The advertising signs are still outside and I saw 50 units on a shelf and stacked on the floor.

A possible reason (and clue for other sources) is that most of the folk in the area can't get freeview and won't even be able to get Channel 5 until 2009 because their signal comes from a repeater station.

Happy viewing!

Tried two of my local Tesco stores in Middlesbrough (TS), neither had any left on the shelves.

Will have to hope that there is another offer on sometime in the near future!
