Hi
I'm looking for a decent Top-Up tv compatible freeview box. I don't particularly need a 7 day EPG (as I have Tivo), but it needs to work well in what must be a relatively weak reception area.
I've currently got a Hauppauge box (old model that links to the PC via USB), and it works fine and picks up 50-odd channels. My previous receiver to that (some ancient Pace box) also picked up the same number of channels.
Earlier today I bought a Sagem ITD68 from Argos, and it only picked up 6 channels during the initial setup. Even after resetting the box and rescanning, it still only picked up 6 channels! So, that's gone back (despite the bloody "we can't refund Freeview boxes" arguement from the Manager), and I'm looking for a replacement.
Any suggestions? I don't want to pay a fortune, but will spend up to £70 for the right box.
Cheers for any help
Mark.
