If you haven't got Freeview yet (i.e. still on channels 1 to 5) - I think this is the cheapest you'll find a freeview box for any time soon.
Supermarket giant Tesco has begun selling a DTT set top box for £10 from today.
The box, made by Techwood, offers up to 40 digital channels and selected digital radio stations, and displays an eight-day electronic programme guide.

For £10 ... :razz:
What do you think .. LOL
Might have to invest in a £10 Freeview box, if it breaks who cares you can just buy another.
:thumb:
I don't know i've never gone freeview before
You can only plug it into a TV set with a scart socket :wave:
You can buy USB Freeview boxes for laptops and PC's but this ain't one of them..
For the record, my digital set top box (thats what we call 'em here in Australia) has a USB port labeled "SERVICE" but i think its just for updating the firmware and stuff. I've never connected it to my PC so i don't know hose useful it is in that respect.
I think Whitehaven, in Cumbria already is digital. I know they had their analogue signal turned off for a while as they were, apparently, the mosy digital savvy town in the U.K.
:yes:
Tis correct. Finally the Tyne Tess and London regions will switch over in 2012.
We're special
Well you would be if you had the Analogue service turn off .. LOL
London is last cos it has the most people!!
They're doing by population and distance to other transmitters
The real shame is the Freeview system is already like 10 years old and technically well out of date compared to what is possible these days.
You could get at least 25% more channels now using the same bandwidth.
Yeah just think of all those extra shopping channels and repeats of X-Factor we could be watching. :rolleyes:
PMSL!
oh dear...
One can tell you always had cable, and then moved straight to sky
