Mother in law wants a Freeview Box. What would people recommend? I have the Panasonic, but that only has 1 Scart socket. This is fine for me as I don`t record from the TV, but she does quite a bit. I was quite impressed with a Samsung that my brother has.
Any opinions welcome.

Myself and her indoors were bought the Sony by her Mum.
It was bought due to me positng on here, in this forum if I remember rightly, and the advice I received.....and that advice was right! It`s a top box, really easy to set up and navigate through the menus......
I must admit that I can`t remember off the top of my head if it has 2 scarts but I`ll check this evening and let you know...
Just had a look on the net - 2 scarts (1 Supplied) part no: VTXD800U
Take a look - it`s a lovely little beast!

The Sony is the dog`s bollocks BUT if you don`t have the budget (£90+) then my mate, who owns a Sony,swears blind a Goodmans box (£60?) was able to get channels his Sony couldn`t in a side-by-side test at his mother-in-laws. In fact he said the Goodmans worked fine using the worst indoor aerial you could imagine apparently,whereas the Sony just wouldn`t. If signal isn`t an issue it`s got to be the Sony. It`s luuuuuverly
