    Good Points: Very good picture and sound and easy to set up

    General comments: Although the Goodmans GDB5 is pleasing to the eye, this model leaves a lot to be desired, if all you want is good picture, sound and a teletext service. Not recommended. Always updates software at approx. 3am. Haven't found instructions to stop that, especially if you are recording a programme at that time!! If you are a frequent TELETEXT user, this receiver is SLOW,SLOW,SLOW!!!!!!! Terrestrial Teletext is faster. If watching sports results on teletext that need updating, the receiver often crashes!! Would not recommend for the price.

    The Goodmans GDB5 freeview box is superb value for money for £25. You get Freeview with 7 day EPG, as well as DAB. Don't buy this if you have a 4:3 TV and want to watch widescreen content in letterbox - some programs go to 14:9 rather than 16:9, and 16:9 programs are actually squashed a bit rather than true 16:9 letterbox like my old freeview box. Overall, it is an excellent box, and my only gripe is that it doesn't handle letterbox well on a 4:3 TV.

    For £69 this is a bargain, featuring both Freeview and a DAB radio. Aestethically pleasing and pretty fast.

    Goodmans GDB5 - The remote control is too small for people who have poor eyesight and/or poor finger manipultaion.
