Buying a Freeview Set Top Box
A couple of weeks ago I purchased a Freeview set top box. It is a really
handy little device, that allows you to receive the complete range of Freeview
services, that includes 30 odd channels and almost as much radio channels. The
key thing here is, there are no subscriptions costs, i.e, it is FREE!!!!
Although, you should already have a TV license, as the Freeview set top box
allows you to pick up BB3 etc, which most hopes have anyway.
I am writing this article to hopefully educate you with your purchase. For the
record, you can easily pick up a quite adequate Freeview box from most retailers
for around 30. However, some companies, like Sony and Humax have some really
net kit, allowing you to pause and record live tv, similar to the functionality
provided by Skyplus. The Humax PVR-9200T also has a duel receiver, which
basically means you can record one channel while viewing another.
Please do make sure your TV set comes complete with a SCART adaptor, otherwise
you will need to but a Freeview box with an inbuilt modulator, allowing you to
view the signal through the tv aerial. This is definitely the right time to
buy a Freeview set top box, as more and more channels will be joining the
Freeview network.
For example, this autumn will see Five US and Five life added to the existing
channels. Five US will be launched as a “peak-time channel” and is expected to
broadcast shows from the USA, including CSI and Everybody hates Chris. Five life
will be aimed at the younger audience, and will feature an extended version of
the popular milkshake program.
I actually bought my Freeview console from a the Internet and in the process
saved 15% of the RRP. There are many online shopping sites worth looking into,
and please don t worry about buying off the Internet, as it is actually very
safe!
Thanks
