Slow channel selection

General Comments

The Alba STB2 freeview box really reflected it's price of sub £30. The remote control was cheap feeling and was very erratic. Selecting channels would change the volume, and selecting epg turned the device to standby. It would then work normally for a while, until sound went completely (and I did check the mute).

I was so disappointed I had to return it, I thought I was getting a bargain, but all I got was a lemon.

    I agree with this review because... this box is as bad as the price would suggest.
