Question

Anyone got a box? How do you find it? Was it worth it?

Cheers.

I never watch it, or any TV any more - Freeview has better quality picture and sound if you are into that kind of thing, but still has the same pap as terrestrial.

IMHO

For a one off outlay of £90, Freeview is well worth it. If there were a monthly suscription I would get rid of it.

Have you been to their website and done a search??

When I did, we weren't supposed to be able to get anything, but we bought a box anyway, and got a fair few channels, we didn't have '5' before, so we gained a bit, ata least I can watch a bit more motorsport now!

Ron..


ps, most places won't let you buy one, and take it back, if your postcode doesn't show any reception, they won't take them back.

Hi Ron,

Yea, it claims I'm ok on the reception side. There's a 'when it's gone, it's gone' promotion starting in a couple of days for 59.99. I'm quite tempted....

UB,
if you have kids, they'll like it, cos you can get CBBC all day!
And Cbeebies, oh, and bbc parliament, (yawn!!)
A couple of mucis channels too.

£60 is nowt these days, you could do with one with 2 scarts though, we only have one, so we can watch it, and record it, but can't watch digital, and record something else, a right pain!
Ron.

Question

It says that it has 2 scarts. Does that mean I can view one and record another channel on the other?

the 2 SCARTs just means you can have 2 outputs to seperate sources but unfortunately the same thing.
What you watch is what you get.
