    I have lost the instructions for the Echostar box and just want to know how to connect it to a tv without scart socket. It does come with an aerial lead but haven't a clue what goes where without the instructions.

    Thanks

    I saw a cheap freeview box at Asda. for 19.97
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    Which echostar box? If it's the T-101 then it can't connect to a TV that doesn't have SCART, it doesn't have an RF modulator in the box.
  • Can these prices go much lower.....well Ebuyer are having a go with some Refurbished Goodmans GDB6 freeview boxes for 17.99. This does include scart and rf leads. The only negative is that ebuyer do charge for postage, which you can get for as little as £2.49 (Choosing Super saver deliver at 2.49, which is within 5 working days) This option brings the total including vat to £20.92

    If you happen to be looking for other electrical items, or stuff like that, it might be worth considering to combine other items with friends, and splitting the postage.

    Hi all, what is the cheapest/best box with a top-up card people here have found? I'm looking to spend about £60-£70. Also what does EPG stand for?! Thanks...

    The Goodmans one from Ebuyer is listed as "stock overdue" I assume this to mean that they are waiting for stock to come in - whats the chance of getting one before Christmas? Anyone experience of Ebuyer?
  • If youre looking for a freeview unit with a hard drive and twin tuners, so you can pause live tv, record one freeview channel whilst watching an other etc, the best deal I found is the refurbished digifusion frvt200 from microdirect.co.uk at 88 quid including p&p
