Best digi box to buy

The Magic Monkey · 30-09-2003, 19:47

Hi.

I'm thinking of replacing my Sky digibox with an FTA receiver. I want to get away from the awful EPG and endledd 'Press Red' signs!

I hope to make about £80 from the sale of the box (let me know if your interested) so that's the sort of money i'll have to replace it.

What would you recommend?

Goodmans GDB3... Excellent, cheap, never crashes. as for the 'Press red' signs, though, they won't disappear with freeview!
It has an EPG, too...

Yes, i counld'nt agree more. Excellent box, excellent software. The Press red signs are nothing to do with the box, but with the MHEG and how long it takes to time out.

The EPG on a Goodmans is perfect, undates A.S.A.P
