This was a christmas present From my girlfriend mainly i think because she wanted more tv channels in the house and couldn't justify buying one for herself but anyway.
It took all of around 5 mins from box to on top the box very easily set up. And comes with a scart lead unlike some cheap ass boxes that expect you to buy there expensive boxes and then buy a scart cable from them as well.
The unit picks up all free to air channels and has increased my tv channels from 5 to around 35 not including digital radio stations it picks up and interactive services the box costs from as little as £35 to around £45
The main selling point is probably the price a nice cheap box that does most of the things more expensive bosxes do. The unit is upgradable through firmware and if u dont mind its uglyness will work well unlike some my friends have nought and had to return it wont let you down.
