    Good Points: Worked well for the past year couldnt really complain as I only paid £35 from TJ Hughes, I would recommend this box to anyone if they too can find one for £35.

    Bad Points: It never updates the the TV listings and sometimes turns itself off, also turning on can sometimes take a few minutes as the remote seems to ignore your commands. Now the standby light just flashes on and off for no reason and we cant get it to work.

    General comments: Goodmans GDB2 - Overall not a bad product but would have liked to get more than 12 months out of it.

    The Goodmans GDB2 box is good and works well with good features and is reliable until now. The machine is constantly freezing or rebooting. I have looked into this problem and found various articles on the machine regarding an update that was pushed down across the TV network. I have found a firmware update and will apply this tomorrow and will also place feedback on the update. Please wait for feedback before updating yours, I will post back late Saturday. Link I will use is below. Ro ...

    The Goodmans GDB 2 is an excellent all round set top box. The price on average from most retailers is £89.99 but those who are keen on a bargin should look to empiredirect.co.uk to pick this box up for £78 The Downside with this box is the dated look, it reminds me of an ice cream box, not very eye catching, maybe that was the designers intention but it's not that easy on the eye. Secondly the remote control, although it's comfortable to use the amount of buttons to control ...

    well, the GOODMANS GDB-2 is outstanding value for money, at under 80 pounds from most high street electrical retailers. It allows you to receive all the freeview broadcasts, and has excellent picture and sound quality. the box is also very small, so it will neatly sit on top of your tv or vcr. Included with the box is everything you need to be watching digital tv, obviously there is the receiver, but with this there are also scart and RF leads for connecting to tv/vcr, and a remote control (even ...

    This silver box decodes the digital signal from the Freeview channels, and gives you up to 30 channels, if you're bored flicking between the current 5 terrestrial channels. The package contains everything you need: RF through cable, SCART cable, one quick-start manual, one user guide, a remote control - including batteries - and the box itself. The box is modestly styled, with a 'paw-print' motif in the front centre, which is actually the IR detector for the remote, plus three status LED's. T ...
