Freeview boxes

I am looking to get my daughter a Freeview box.

Is there much difference between them all (excluding Pace Twin) as far as reception etc are concerned?

Any recommendations?

Go for the humax f2-fox t great box good for low reception areas and has all the connections you could want plus a few games built in for a laugh.

Does the same go for the Humax 8000, I have a netgem at the mo with great reception, but I tried the Pace Twin and that was a nightmare. Now thinking of buying the Humax PVR but a tad nervous as best price by far is online. Nervous only about reception really after that Pace

I just saw a Humax DTT box in Sainsbury's with Dolby Digital logos on it. Seems a bit odd.
