Woolworths Worthit! Set Top Box

By now you must be wondering just how many of these Digital TV set top boxes I'm going to review and the answer is, as many as it takes to find one that works properly, at a reasonable price. Let's face it, the technology isn't complicated. I suspect that there are a limited number of chip sets used by all manufacturers to put their own boxes together; I doubt many make their own chips. So, the components are mass-produced at a mass-produced price and as these things are undoubtedly turned out in their thousands, if not millions, there is no reason that they should cost the Earth. In general, the only real differences are the input and output connections to the boxes ...  Read the complete review

After my satellite dish was damaged in a storm last year, I had the choice between paying to get it repaired and realigned or finding another way to receive a digital signal. Now I didn't have the cold, hard cash to get the dish repaired, so I decided to go for a freeview box. A quick look around the High Street convinced me that the Woolworths 'Worth It' set top box was the best value for money at a paltry £16.99. It's now almost exactly a year later, and I'm still convinced that it was money well spent. The set top box itself is a lot more stylish than most (if not all) other low-end freeview boxes, being silver in colour and not too big (or small) to fit nicely ...  Read the complete review

I think Woolies need all the promotion they can get at the moment and even if they don't get enough business over Christmas to save them, we could all use reviews on Woolworths stuff to decide what to grab quickly when the closing down sales start at least. We've got this worthit! set top box in two rooms in our house. We have freeview built into some tellies and in another we have a £45 freeview box. But I saw this six months ago and thought it was worth a try as you can always get a refund if stuff isn't up to scratch. I was so impressed I wound up buying another one two weeks later! What's so great about this box is that it's really simple to ...  Read the complete review

My free view box (one of the original ondigital boxes which cost £200 +) died a death and so needed to be replaced. When choosing a freeview box it was a case of weighing up the functionality of the box and the cost of it. Thank fully i visit to Woolworths provided me with a functional freeview box which was well below the original boxes £200 cost. The things i like about this free view box is the sheer size of it, its extremely compact and slim and so easilt fits in most tv stands ontop of a dvd player if required. The Freeview box was extremely easy to set up, being a case of take it out the packaging, plug it in and then ...  Read the complete review

my neice had decided to stay with us for a while so we wanted a cheap digital box for the room she was in to make her feel more comfortable (in the days before woolies sadly closed down) I stumbled across this one on a price comparisson website and ordered it for store collection via the woolies website. I picked it up from store a few days later and set it up in the spare room. I was not expecting much as it was very cheap to buy but I was expecting to be fit for the purpose i was buying it. I plugged it in, handilly there is an antenna scked in the spare room. It is very easy to use this box, its quite leterally plug it in and go, I did not even need the instructions. ...  Read the complete review
