Freeview boxes
Posted by: seagull on 14 November 2006
Any recomendations or ones to avoid?
We've got NTL at the moment but having had the usual shite service from them we're moving away from them as I object paying them a fortune in return for the hassle - TV first, phone and broadband to follow unless they give us a good deal.
Having the arial sorted tomorrow - I think the old one was put up when tv was

There was a previous thread on this not so long ago - suggest you run a search.
I would recommend the one I now have - a Humax model with twin tuners and 160gb hard drive which enables you to record two programmes at the same time - sometimes very handy if you are out.
The menu's are very user friendly and I have not had any problems whatsoever - more than can be said for the first Humax digibax I had - perhaps a Friday afternoon special but it was pants!

Thanks, I have done a search and the Humax does seem to come out well but I'm just looking for Freeview at the moment. A box with a HDD can come later as we're eventually going to need several boxes if we're not going to have world war 3 break out whenever someone wants to watch CBBC and someone else wants the soaps...
One more question - are any of these things HD ready?

Don't think there is going to be HD transmissions on Freeview type delivery.

Pop into Asda and buy the current cheapest -which is £23 by Pacific (same one exactly as Durabrand PSTB1) with RCA phono L & R audio out/2 scarts/free basic adequate scart lead.
If this is not good enough, buy that Sony one about £80.
