But the Nokia Mediamaster 9850T is a rather old receiver and very very slow in operation (i.e. response to the remote). Having said that, I still use one but I also have a Nokia 221T and there's absolutely no comparison.

I'm not sure I'd pay £80 for a 9850T. Maybe £40.

You can pick up ex on digi nokia boxes for £30-40 so £80 for a refurb is steep, have a look at QED-uk as they have some good offers and look a digital box shop. pvruk has some good links as do the many freeveiw sites, was there a particular reason for buying from currys????
