General Comments
Despite being initially impressed with the cheap(ish) Goodmans GDB3 Freeview box, I soon began to notice the terrible picture quality. The picture flickers quite badly, particularly on menu screens. In addition the picture and sound break up for no good reason, and mine has simply failed to respond to the remote, and will not work with a new remote either. In addition, the remote is poor quality and very flimsy. Back to Argos to swap for a quality model me thinks...
