Before we got Sky this was our Freeview box. It has now been relegated to the bed room but still does the job. We bought this for £29.99 but that was a good few years ago now and they have come down dramatically in price since then. There is a lot of choice for set top boxes but we chose this one as it was small and quite stylish looking. I didnt want one of them horrible big black boxes sat in the living room. Installation for this set top box was easy enough. Just 2 wires and one plug to sort out and within 15 minutes it had tuned in all the freeview channels. You didn't really need the instructions but they appeared to be well thought ...  Read the complete review

When I first got a freeview box which was a good few years ago, this was the one I purchased because of what it offered and also because of the price that it was available at. I was looking for something which was better than standard TV and offered a few extra channels and this seemed to tick the box. Price This was purchased for £25 if I remember rightly. I thought that for the extra channels you get it was a good price because there is no monthly payment and instead just a one off. So for this price you really can't complain it is to expensive to purchase like some others which are £80+. Channels The extra channels you got ...  Read the complete review

It's time for me to have a declutter so I thought I would review my old freeview box before it goes into the bag for the charity shop. Sagem isn't well known for their electrical products but I previously had a sagem phone which was brilliant so decided to give their freeview box a try. It currently costs £24.99 but was £35 when I bought it. The good part of the box is its small size, meaning it doesnt take up much space but it also makes it really light and prone to slipping around if you tug at the cables. It is easy to set up, just attach it to your TV using a scart lead and press the buttons to tune the channels. Unfortunately the box ...  Read the complete review

The Sagem IDT58 digital set top box is a pretty cheap, small and pretty easy to use Freeview TV receiver. It's currently going for about twenty to twenty five pounds at Argos and Currys at the moment. So what do you expect from this machine? Well, as a Freeview TV set top box, it does exactly what you want it to. Comes with two Scart plugs and a aerial one it sets up nice and easy - all you do is plug it in, and wait for the automatic installation to do it all for you. Within a few minutes you'll be watching your free channels with glee. The product is quite small, and incredibly flat. Width-wise, it's just under 30 cm and is about 15 cm length, ...  Read the complete review

The Sagem digital box is a cheap box and is very handy for the digital switch over. It is at the price of £24 at Argos. It has a good layout and is ok to use but read the instructions beforehand. It is easy to wire up to your TV and looks nice next to any TV. The remote control is ok to use but not as good as others. It only responds when directly in front of it. The remote can confuse you at times and do things that you don't want it to do. Like all of the sky remote series it doesn't have an AV button. The packaging it comes in is good compared to others. The box itself had no buttons on it so if you lost the remote you can not use it. If you ...  Read the complete review
