The Future is Analog....F@@@ Digital

Advantages: Easy to Set Up, Better quality?, Tup-up TV
Disadvantages: Instructions are almost unreadable, basic box

...a digi-box. This one the Sagem ITD68 is available from Argos for a mere £39-99, a bargain for something that will bring about the premature destruction of humanity, it is also compatible with top-up TV (http://www.topuptv.com/) which for a initial fee of £27-99 and a monthly payment of £7-99 will give you an extra 11 channels of utter tripe on top of the 30 channels of utter tripe you get on freeview. Installing this is dead easy provided that you ...
...to say the least, all you have to do is fix the scart lead in the appropriate slots attach the ariel to the box and the back of your telly, then switch it on.

Say What? No Sagem

Advantages: Cheap, does what it says it can do
Disadvantages: Limited functionality

...of options I chose the Sagem ITD58G from Argos at the then very reasonable price of just £26.99. ►►► What do you get in the box Before I get onto the contents, I have to say I am quite impressed with the amount of packaging, as although it comes in the usual cardboard box with polystyrene inserts and a plastic bag around the Sagem ITD58G, they have kept the size to a minimum, cutting down on the amount of wastage. Once you have ...
...Build and Connectivity The Sagem ITD58G is pretty small, much smaller than your standard DVD player, or video recorder (do you remember them). It measures approximately 22cm x 13xm x 4cm and no surprise it is remarkably light, weighing in at just 400 grams. Part of the reason behind its lightness is the fact it is made of light weight plastic, which unfortunately has the downside of not making it feel the most robust of units. I would imagine that ...

The Sagem ITD62 is a very attractive and basic freeview box

Advantages: A really cheap digibox
Disadvantages: the channel update feature needs redesigned

The Sagem ITD62 is an attractive Freeview box and works very well considering its low price The EPG is very basic but very easy to use and it turns on and off quite quickly It's also well biult from toughened plastic, and comes with dual SCART sockets. However, the update channel function should be updated in the next firmware. Every time it detects new channels are available, it interrupts your TV watching and insists you download the new list of ...

Sagem freeview box

Advantages: Get more channels get a good picture
Disadvantages: None

This sagem freeview box was a great buy. You get about 30 extra channels to your normal four and if your picture isn't very clear where you live tou get a great picture with this in your aerial. I bought this sagem freeview box from comet for £34.99 and i connected this through my aerial and the picture quality was excellent. Some of the channels you get are your normal four channels plus you get channel 5, ITV 2, ITV 3, ITV 4, FTN, E4 and more 4. ...
