I wanna cheap digibox

My digital set box top has died last night and so I need to get a new one. Does anyone know where I can get a cheap one in store.

    I just checked Tesco online and the cheapest I saw was this one around £38, with free delivery.

  • Asda do them from £30 and there is a philips one for £50.
  • Thanks so much everyone but there has been a miricle and digibox has come back to life after a fiddle.
  • cheapest digibox price new anywhere is £30: complete rundown
    dixons have a matsui one for £30
    argos have the sagem itd 58 for £30
    tesco have knocked their 'digilogic' box down to £30
    asda have 'rolled back' their 'durabrand' box to about £30 as well

    don't think any have scart leads but there you go...

    i noticed trinnylilac's box has revived itself but there are threads on here every so often about digiboxes so i thought i might as well add what i know.

    My old digi box goes down on a regular basis...just pull the power cord out or switch it off at the mains and they normally reset themselves.
  • thats what sky used to say about our pace box (which we still have)
    i have one of the argos sagem freeview boxes- paid £35 for it out of the old catalogue it was the cheapest one i could find

    Smacking also works a treat on mose modern electrical items - if unpluging fails this will often work.
