What a brilliant piece of kit! I inherited my sagem freeview box from my parents. Att that point they had had it about 3 years. They had got a TV with built on freeview. It was from the school of 'cheap set top boxes', priced at around £20. Despite this, after 4 years in my ownership, it still works! There has been no physical degradation either, like on the connection sockets.The controller is also in perfect condition, Which ties in with the superb build quality of the box. It still provides the majority of the available channels, and gives a severely increased picture quality. The options menu is very simple yet still comprehensive. it is very easy to use. All the options which you could want are easily found.

There are so many freeview boxes to choose from, a lot more than when mine was made. And many of them are produced my more well known producers. Yet i would still pick the Sagem.
