Which Freeview for QED infra red use & more?

[1974stephen]

I'm after a new freeview box as my QED roomlink doesn't support the IR used by my current Panasonic TUCT31 box.

While I'm upgrading I would like to get a box with the following (if one exisits)

Supports QED IR codes
Has RGB output
Has RGB link through on scarts (so I can view DVD in high quality too through same input)
Preferably has EPG too (though not essential)

People seem to speak highly of the Sony VTX-D800U. Though not still made, there are a few on ebay etc. Any thoughts from anyone???

OK. Update in view of the massive response I've recieved!

Using an IR eye directly in front of of the Panny freeview box means that it starts woring OK. It obviously is a bit finicky about the IR it receives.

In view of this fact, i've decided to stay with it until it finally gives up the ghost.
