I want to buy a cheap digibox off e-bay for daughters room. Which ones should i definitely avoid??
After that its the luck of the draw i guess but my Panasonic V1 has been good so far. (Thats torn it!!)

Cheers

Don't know what to avoid but my Grundig hase been problem free for years.

The PACE 2200 and Amstrad DRX100 are a no no due to performance and reliabilty and the PACE minibox due to it's lower spec.

In general terms any digibox from the last three years should be fine.
Some further thoughts here.

The Pace 2200's have been pretty reliable really but they are VERY slow.

Starburst's right about the DRX100's, they're cr*p.

The Panasonic DSB31 or DSB40 are very good.
