Ah well, I’ve went ahead and ordered
one
>from
Arial>Dixon’s anyway. At £60 (including vat + del’y) it’s much the same
price
as the pioneer from Makro that Des has seen. But it tends to be my
experience
that every time I go to Makro to get something specific, they don’t have it
in
stock, so I end up getting something similar (at a higher cost off course).
And
phoning beforehand doesn’t help – they always seem to have trouble getting
hold
of a particular person who works in the dept that sells the electronics.

Can't talk about Philips
boxes (there phones are crap I can tell you
that -
DO
NOT BUY a PHILIPS 820)
I have a
pioneer box and a Nokia. We live 3 miles from Heathfield
transmitter,
I have line of sight on the damn thing and I have an 18
element
array on CT100 cable. My signal is weather dependent and
will
break
down in stormy weather on both boxes - more so on the
Nokia.
The
Nokia
goes down more often than a Whitehouse intern. and is
forever
locking up.
I use
the
Pioneer with my Tivo and get about 1 lock every two weeks.
If you
can
get a pioneer instead of the Nokia do so.
Just my
opinion though......
If you
are
in the south east contact me off list and I will lend you
one to
try.....
