the nokia 221t has won the most accolades for freeview boxes. it receives praise on lots of websites. it has won more "best buy" awards than any manufacturer.
an aspect that appealed to me was the dolby digital coaxial output. you can connect the box up to your digital decoder and (in the future) receive 5.1 sound.
It has digital text and nteractive services, eg press the red button.
the picture quality is excellent, although you may need a new aerial. it is near to dvd quality. the signal informs my tv whether it is receiving 4:3, letterbox or widescreen, so it can autoformat the image.
it gives access to lots of digital radio stations, giving near cd quality music.
the menu system is very easy to use. there is 8 personal favourite lists.
the device was simple to install. it has an rf loop and twin scart sockets.
i do find that i get picture interference about once every hour, also the decoder will seize up about around once a day, with it not responding to the remote control. the red light on the nokia chooses not to acknowledge the remote control.

After talking with Nokia I discovered that they wouldn,t repair my box, I'd ...

I don't actually own this mobile but my boyfriend does. I tend to use it a lot when I run out of my free minutes and texts (he's on a higher tariff than me), I also like to 'play' with it a lot, such as with games, music etc so I think I qualify to... more
OK so I've had enough with the many problems caused by my Nokia 8310 which is getting pretty old really -- so I thought why not buy a new phone to replace it. Having my Nokia 8310 on Tesco Mobile (cheapest network around!!), I thought I should buy a new more
