I wanna Freeview box
REM1307
Posts: 38 Forumite
Hi,
I want a freeview box for the 14 inch bedroom tv. As it's for the bedroom, I'd like it to be under £40 (ideally less). I'm not really bothered about features, I'd just like to be able to watch channels and get a decent channel 5 reception!
Any recommendations?

We bought a phillips one for £39.99 and took it back as it was rubbish - surprised as we've had a lot of phillips products and always thought well of them.
We bought a Technika one from Tesco for about £29.99 and it's very good, very pleased with it.
Reception will only be as good as your aerial/signal.0 -
I've seen them from 10-20£s give me one minute0

I think Tescos was selling them cheap also Asda0

rem1037, we’ve pulled together 23 freeview boxes in your price range here:

If I had to pick one from the list, it would be the Philips DTR 210, which offers great image quality, a small price tag at £30 (£35 with delivery) and it looks pretty slick too. Check it out here:

Dont always get the cheapest, cheapest one, the interface/menus on the cheapo ones can be pretty bad!!!
Any Currys, Commet, Dixons have lost, from £15 upwards - you can get a decent one for around £30, but will depend on your desire for size, design, sockets, recording (?), interface..0
