I have recently bought a Goodmans GDB2 Digibox for freeview. Its the cheapest box currently available at arond £80. I've been pleasantly surprised! It generally works very well, apart from a few minor hiccups that you get with sky or cable digital such as the picture freezing or the sound cutting out momentarily......jobs a ...

The digital television revolution is coming whether we like it or not. The government is planning to switch off analogue television sooner than thought maybe in 2005. Italy so far is the only country to set a date for the big turn off, 2007. Our government says it is committed to digital tele claiming it is a vital learning ... Read the complete review

As long as I can remember I’ve been a customer of Sky Satellite since the good old days of analogue! Although I didn’t upgrade to digital at the earliest opportunity, I did when the ‘free’ offer came on the scene and was one of the first in my family (and street come to think about it) to go for the ...

First of all, if you want one of these, you'll almost certainly have to go to an independant satellite dealer - sky themselves (and therefore any retailer that uses them - any high street retailer)will generally not supply these or the silver panasonic boxes. Ok - the first thing i would say about this receiver is 'it ... Read the complete review

I to say that Sky's actual product and features good, in fact there very good. Skys the customer service is on the other habd a matter for concern. The staff do try to be helpful and must be under considerable pressure, but don't seem to be able to fix anything for me over the phone (all the resets in the world just ... Read the complete review

I upgraded from Analogue Sky to Digital Sky about a year and a half ago we have always subscribed to the full sky package which cost us £32 a month. For that you get about 38 entertainment channels, 10 movie channels, 6 sports channels, 10 documentary channels, 10 music channels, 6 news channels and 10 kids channels. After a few teething ...

I love our sky digital and rushed out to buy a set when the free dish and box offer came out. The channels are great and there is sooo much variety. Even if there is nothing on it can take half an hour to channel hop. Unfortunatley our box has died on us and no longer works. I phoned sky to come and sort it so 2 weeks later they sent ...

Do'nt get Sky, when it goes wrong Sky are the worst company to put things right. Mine has been broken for three months and is still not fixed. The attitude of the Sky staff is terrible at there call centre, they are inflexible. The Engineers who come out are brain dead cowboys, they do things like that drill through walls when ...

We have had Sky digital for about 6 months now. At the time I think the offer was 'FREE DIGITAL DISH AND BOX (but it costs £100 for us to fit it)' The main advantage of Digital TV is the crystal clear picture and sound quality, and you've got to admit that it is 100% perfect. On very windy days though the picture can ... Read the complete review

It would have been very nice if this could have been a review. I bought an On Digital box from QXL - bargains can be had with one years rental for the basic service typically around £40 to £60. I had checked out the postcode checker first of course, which said fine. It barely worked - i got BBC channels and that was it - so ... Read the complete review

For those of you who don't know the parable, it means the product is good... in parts. I bought a 32 inch widescreen, with Dolby Pro-Logic (Sony KV32DS20U)in April and overall I am very pleased with it. The digital picture is superb, although I find that the incredibly flat screen is far more reflective than my old TV, and I ... Read the complete review

The new Sony Wega digital TV's offer one of the best pictures available on a television and linked with a DVD player it is superb. The only downside with these TV's from Sony besides the price is the lack of promised upgrades to enable you to get digital teletext and all the pay ondigital channels. Sony have been saying that the ... Read the complete review

When watching the picture from my Grundig digibox the picture freezes and the games on open do not work. Sky have been told of the on going problem with the Grundig and Amstrad boxes but the are not listening to there customer. I join Sky on the 17th May this year, I have made 300 calls to Sky Television to get this sorted out and to ... Read the complete review

This may sound like a strange item to place in the Electronics review, but it has one special feature which makes it a very useful accessory to any hi fi system. To get it at a good price (£40) you have to subscribe to Sky Digital for 12 months (but the basic package is only £6.99 per month). Even if you have no ... Read the complete review
