Re: Whats the best Digital Freeview set top box...



I  bought one, quality not too bad.
You have to manually set letterbox(wide) on 4:3 though each time you turn
it
on, which can be a bind.

The digital is only through the Scart connection. The RF is only loop
through.

Nice and quick on the channel change, I  have it set up in the bedroom
where
it does the job of giving me news 24/7 very well.I have noticed the TV
guide
a little wonky (but the war is playing hell with the schedule anyway)
