Freeview Set Top Box Recommendations

My aging Freeview HD STB died recently. I don't need a PVR, just a small HD STB with the ability to delete and edit the order of channels. Ideally with the ability to be networked for catch up services etc. but really just a good responsive Freeview box would do.

Any recommendations?

    It does more than you want
    It's refurbished
    Its not too expensive
    I have a refurbished Humax Freesat box and hen it arrived, next day, I couldn't tell it was refurbished.

    As yoyu see I dont have freeview, other than in the telly. But I am well pleased with my freesat box which cost just £39

    I have a Humax PVR on my main TV. This is for the back room TV where space is restricted. So smaller the better.

    After hours of searching the BT You View DB-T2200 (Zapper) looks good. Loads of new ones on ebay as it appears they were included as a freebie with one of the BT Freeview packages.

    Small, good epg, lots of catch up services.

    Got one, £22 off ebay. Really good, small, responsive, all catchup services, easy to set up. Only down side, no aerial pass through.
