As someone who lives a busy life i feel that paying a monthly fee for Sky, NTL etc is not worth my while as i watch very little TV. As a result i decided a one of payment for Freeview to be my best option.
I bought my Daewoo freeview box in Tesco's for £49.95 about a year and a half ago now and have been very happy with my purchase. The box was incredibly easy to set up, via connection through a scart cable. Within ten minutes of opening the packaging my freeview box was up and running after following the on-screen instructions.
The selection of channels on the freeview service is enough for my needs. Amongst others you get BBC3 & 4, ITV2 & 3, three 24 hour news channels, 2 childrens channels, 2 music channels, several shopping channels and almost every radio station possible. There are also new channels being added regularly with the most recent being E4, Men & Motors and More 4.
When there is a new channel on the freeview service the Daewoo box will inform you and tell you to rescan which again is just a case of following the on-screen instructions.
A small problem with the Daewoo freeview box is that it occasionaly loses the signal and crashes for about 60 seconds or so. This can be fixed manually at the time simply by turning the box off and back on again. Also the box is quite cheap looking but can be set up to be totally out of view.
Overall the Daewoo is excellent value for money.
