    Freeview Boxes

    Right, I have a £25 Comet voucher, and I want to buy one of these tmrw, and am happy to pay a bit over that.

    My only stipulation is that the programme guide (EPG, or something) has to display all the channels at once. The last one (which I took back) kindly only let you see one channel at a time, which made browsing far more difficult than it needed to be.

    These are the models they sell; any ideas?

    Nothing's going to show you all the channels - there's about 50 on basic Freeview. Can't help you out with a basic box, I'm afraid, but you can get a free trial of Which? online. I'm sure they'll have done a roundup.

      I mean that they show the seven day programme for channels together, in a continuous block so I can scroll down easily to check. The other one I had only showed what was on now and next like that. To look further ahead you had to isolate a channel and then scroll across that.

      Have I explained that better?

        Surely an advertised Electronic Programme Guide that covers the coming week of programmes can't restrict you to looking at one channel at once? Can it?

          I bought the Setanta Sports box for around £50. It includes a month's subscription and connection then it's a tenner a month. Handy for 'Deutsch Fussball' and the odd Prem game.

          Here it it at Comet

          If you're having trouble getting a picture with your rooftop aerial, this is the best twenty quid you can spend.

            Same box is £25 at Tesco here - I have the same one and it's easy to use.

            If it's that one you want save the voucher for another purchase.

            I meant to add that of the Comet ones - on the basis of the features, the Sagem ITD64 (with 2 SCART sockets) would be my choice.

              Horse, the one I got from Richer Sounds seemed to do just that. As I say, you only got the full lot to scroll through for "Now and Next". According to YATR, my objection to this was of the "where are the golden elephants?" variety.

              Cheers, Bill and CTC. I might indeed do that one from Tesco and save the voucher.

                To be honest, you can't go wrong with a Freeview Box with a built in Hard Drive. They cost more, but by god they are worth it.
