Default Freeview Box

I've just got a freeview box today - I can't believe I never thought of getting one before - 80 channels for a one-off payment of £30 - bargain!

Anyone else here got one - obviously VUK does - but has anyone else?

yea, I've got Sky Digital downstairs, I tried that out. I prefer the delayed coverage on BBC2 personally though, as you get the commentary and features in between.

I'm really chuffed with this Freeview box though - it has Men & Motors and Discovery Realtime - which rocks.

Shame it's missing Motors TV - but you can't have everything images/smilies/tongue.gif

What? Freeview? No it's a legal way to watch the BBCs, now unlocked, satellite feeds. A few years ago the Beeb decided it wasn't going to charge liscense fees to watch their satellites, so they unlocked them gave them to the public images/smilies/smile.gif
