General Comments
This is quite a large silver set top box which an LCD display showing clock and function. I wish I had realised that it has exactly the same remote control as the Bush DFTA11 before I bought it. They must be the same machine as the set up display and functions are exactly the same. It did not pick up all the channels although I have a fairly new digital aerial and am in a fully compatible area. I couldn't get any ITV channels (not even ITV1) nor Channel 4. I am now going to have my father's Sony freeview receiver which is no longer available new but gets excellent reviews. I searched everywhere but Comet, Currys, Tesco, Asda etc all have basically the same range of cheap freeview receivers. NB I bought this box which is the Wharefdale DV832B from Argos for £24.99. Avoid this one unless you have a VERY strong signal.
