Good Reception. Easy to set up.
Bad Points
Freeview boxes are overpriced generally.
General Comments
The Sony VTXD800U is the best Freeview box at the moment. Reception is excellant, even off a standard TV aerial. Menus are simple and easy to understand.
Picture and sound are of a good quality from an old TV. The size of the box is small and easy to set up. I've had the Nokia Mediamaster 221T, it packed in after 13 months use, and not of the quality of the Sony by a long way. Stick with the Sony, which is slowly dropping in price.
