    Bought two yesterday, Tiverton Devon, lots on shelf. One works fine, other would not scan properly. I exchanged it today and new one works ok. Easy to use, possibly not as good reception as previous ones I have had, some pixilation on cbeebies!! I don't seem to have much luck with digiboxes, the sound seems to start breaking up on them, hope this one will be better- at this price it is worth a try! If they pack up within the year I will return them to Argos!

    just remembered, I forgot to mention- this doesn't come with a scart lead, so you will need your own. Adding to the cost a bit- still v. cheap though, our original one cost £99.00 in 2000!!!

    Better aerial required, not a fault of the receiver/s.;)

    Can you use a set top box with an indoor aerial?

    Our nearest transmitter is only about 1 mile away if that.
