Good Points

Excellent signal pick-up on my own, small, powered indoor aerial. Ideal for camping holidays, use with laptop to view or to record with its timer record system. For about £30 you get a TV a DVD recorder and a Digibox. what more could you want! (of course you do need a laptop to display it (or PC at home).


Bad Points

It does not have digital text nor is it digitally interactive. (but standard teletext is available if you switch to Analogue TV). The Freecom DVB-T runs a bit hot, although this has not stopped it working. If you have no mains supply (camping) power consumption is high - especially adding in the power used by the laptop.


General Comments

A very useful product. Some people will be disappointed with the signal pick-up from the supplied aerial (a small rod). It is true that you need to be in an area of high signal strength to succeed with that aerial. My camping aerial is a £10 one from "Roys of Wroxham". It fits in a box about 35cm square by 10cm deep.
