Hi.
Has anyone used one of these:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro-Freev...A33TLDXLAOT1KS

It's an Ex-Pro DVB-T scart sized receiver. It's £15, and can also record onto an SD card.

Is it rubbish? Or worth a punt?

Read the reviews carefully. There is some debate in the reviews as to whether it actually can record onto an SD card, apparently not even via the USB adaptor plugged into the USB port - just onto a USB dongle. Some people also had issues with the recorded file format and playback on other devices. If you want a small DVB-T adaptor then great, I have a similar one, but if you are looking for an SD card recorder then I'd avoid it.

Thanks.
I'm not too interested in recording programmes... just want it to work as a Freeview adaptor.

What's the remote control like? Big? Little?

No digital tick. No red button services. It is not a Freeview receiver bit a generic DVB-T receiver. Amazon should be done under the Sale of Goods Act as this is NOT as described.
