  Great find, heat added. This should get very hot, a seriously good bargain for a Freeview HD Box.

  Bought it 2 weeks ago when it was £27.99,so far it seems very good,but it does not say HD when on bbc1,maybe its a red button option,i have not had much time to look into it.

  Great little box, User interface is great.
  
  BBC IPlayer runs perfectly, No buffering or lag.
  
  If you are watching a Non HD channel a box appears and offers you the choice to watch in HD.
  
  Bare in mind the box is discontinued now and also the USB on the back is only for updating if you cant get online.
  
  Nice size remote, batteries and HDMI cable supplied.
  
  The one I got had a switch on the cable from the power supply to the box (Makes rebooting simpler if needed)
  
  I got Richer Sounds to price match it so picked it up in store.

  Was looking at that myself, and was £30 in Asda, but no iPlayer (or iPlayer HD) and the list of formats it supports for playback from NAS etc is very small, I believe Divx and Jpegs only?
  
  What I want is a cross between the WDTV Live Box containing a Freeview HD receiver with Record facility - I keep hoping
  
  I bought this on a pricematch at Richer Sounds and for the money couldn't be happier. The last thread had lots of techie questions about this box answered in that if you dig it out.
  
  ps Cold on the deal as it is more expensive than last weeks posted deal - nerrrr

  I bought one of these in the last HotUKDeal headsup. I can quite honestly say it lives up to expectation - unless your expectations are low, in that case you'll be disappointed. The HD channels look great. I'm getting sick of SD channels now; once you've experienced Dot Cotton in HD there's simply no going back! There aren't many HD channels, but they'll only increase with time. If you haven't got HD Freeview integrated into your TV then this is a must buy at this price. It's fast, responsive and very ugly. But you forgive it's looks after a while, once you've applied the second tin of black boot polish. The only grump I have about it is the iPlayer interface is a bit slow but streaming iPlayer content works like a charm. It's futureproof today as the firmware can be updated ; I get moist thinking about what technological advancements are yet to come with this bad boy. Heat.

  Do you need to do anything (antenna wise). Or as I already get freeview I should be able to plug and go with this.

  If you can get normal Freeview then you should be OK. Check your postcode here to see if you can get HD - Can I get Freeview HD

  Cool thanks for the reply, think i'll take the plunge and give it ago then

  I hope you got the edited message. I'd be gutted to find out you bought one and couldn't get HD on it afterall thanks to me. If that is the case then I will buy it off you (half price of course as it's second-hand). Unless you're really rural then you'll be alright. My parents get it in the middle of nowhere. Worth checking your postcode though.
