    One thing to note is that the cheap boxes won't have the card hole for top up tv... however as e4 is now on freeview it seems top tv is definatley not worth even looking at.

    Totally agree with you on that one! However I read that the MUX channels which TUTV use are due for a reshuffle in October, which means a few more channels will probably be added. Noone seems to have an inkling which, though.

    Something I have found lacking in some of the cheaper ones is the facility to send out the freeview signal on RF (aerial). They all do SCART which of course is what you want most BUT if either you have a very old TV without SCART or you also want to feed the signal to another room (eg. upstairs) without having to buy video senders, then this facility is very useful. I have my freeview box connected to the TV downstairs via SCART but to the two upstairs as well via RF.
  • Have a look in Woolworths for echostar was under £40. But it locks on to
    signals like the proverbial **** to a blanket.Its nothing fancy but it sure works well. P.S. 7 DAY PLANNER ALSO.
