Page 1 of Reccomend a freeview box.

I am looking to replace my old ITV digi box (Pioneer) with something that actually responds to the remote control!

I would like it to have a digital audio out. Also a SVHS out would be nice but not vital.

The Pace twin view is obviously the top of my list - but if I cannot get the funds together fo that can anyone reccomend another around the £100 mark.

get Sky+

I am actually looking for a freeview box - sky`s subscription based package does not interest me.

There`s been a couple of threads recently on this, inc one that I can`t find that had a link to a summary review of several boxes - IIRC the Thompson came out pretty well, but the Nokia top (though it`s more pricey).

I`m considering going for this too, and for me, the key things are:

Access to the interactive content
Anamorphic widescreen
2 scarts - I assume if I go via the VCR I can then record the digital broadcasts....

Presumeably we`re all cursed with yet another remote to be able to change channel....

the thomson rules, i have one....its amazing...only £72 in argos until tomorrow too

Yep as Hirsty said - the boxes have 20% off in Argos at the moment

Bought the Thomson today from Argos. Nice looking product. Really easy to connect and set up, and great picture.

go to channel 17 and check fr new software, v2.1 should be available.....download it

Grrr if only I had the £80 to spend on the pace box today.

Goes back up to £350 tomorrow. Darn.

Found this that might help....

"if only I had the £80 to spend...." Thought you meant it was down to £80 for a minute - or is it? If so - WHERE!!!!!
