Hi,
I've just moved into a rental flat where the freeview reception is pants.
It's wired for sat, but I have no assurances that it works (better or at all).
I want to buy the cheapest box possible to try it out.
I have no need for HD, I have no need for internet connection, but I do need a recorder. So I don't want a freesat box at all, I need "something that works" but without the branding. I certainly don't want to pay 250 quid for a box as I may move on in six months and have no further use for it.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but none of the other categories looked any more appropriate
Anyhow, I have discovered the Fortec 4400/4700 (with USB record) available at Maplin.
Are these boxes any good, do they do what I want (i.e provide/record all the normal SD freesat channels)?
Are there any other options?
TIA
