** My Experience **

I bought this box from Argos about a year ago in exchange for my faulty Thomson Set Top Box. It was meant to cost about £90 but we received this for free as it was an exchange.

So far this product has been very reliable. It was easy to set up and you were able to start watching freeview television within about 10 minutes. The range of channels is excellent and the picture and signal is always of high quality.

A couple of little things to point out about this product. The box itself makes quite a lot of noise, could be the fan, but it sounds like a humming electrical noise. Not too irritating but worth pointing out. Also, the programme information seems to have a mind of its own. One day it has all the programme information available and other days this has disappeared. This is only annoying when you want to record something as it will not let you record if the programme listings are blank.

This product has been reliable apart from these minor faults and compared to some of the faults I had with my Thomson box, these are nothing to worry too much about.
