  • If you are looking for the newly released Freeview+ which lets you record porgrammes like sky+ the best place I found was Aldi.
    It is there own brand which I find is much better than brands like Technika or Grundig which supply it for the same price range but are less reliable. It is not online though so you will have to buy it instore.

    Thanks for replying ... no I was just after a plain freeview box that the sound doesn't blank out every 60 secs and the picture and sound stay in phase and do not ever go out of sync.

    So far every freeview decoder I've used goes out of sync and the argos ones the sound blanks for a second or two just about once every 60 seconds or so .. and I've bought a recorder from them too Warfedale is the brand on it but it's argo's own make (No relation in anyway to the famous Warfedale company of the 1960s that supplied very high grade audio equipment).
