Anyone know much about these digital boxes that give you free channels? My TV has a built in box that give me freeview channels but my digital has gone and cant tune anything in but analog signals so was wondering if these boxes work for every TV (check coverage and its fine)?

get a nokia box off ebay for 10-20 quid, jobs a gooden

but, it might be worth looking into sky's freeview type thingy...150 odd channels for a one off payment of 150 quid or so

although you dont get stuff like mtv or anything decent

better onboard decoder - so better picture and sound quality + more connections on back etc

but the old nokia boxes (used when ITV owned the freeview thingy) are pretty good - offer a decent enough picture and sound quality, and also offer a card slot so you go for that monthly extra channel package for 10 quid or something
