This box is nice and compact, it looks tiny next to my surround sound amp. It is easy to push the wrong button around the central navigation control though and getting to your recordings is a bit of a pallaver. You have to go through the Youview button to get to them where a dedicated button for them would be easier. All in all a decent box which can be used to receive Freeview only if you want it to, no need to sign up to any ISP unless you want PPV TV.

I subscribe to Talktalk Plus TV with Sky channels. The original TalkTalk Huawei plus box consistently failed to record good quality IPTV sky channels. Playback was choppy during most times of the day and the interface was slow even with a 14mb internet speed. I got this box based on advice from forum chats and what a difference it makes. If you have any doubts, dont, buy this one. The IPTV channels soon reappear on your listings after clicking update in settings and a reboot. Even the TT TV boosts are loaded and can be added. This box is exactly what you want, especially at a reconditioned price.

I bought this to replace an identical one that had become faulty. Had a dabble with a Humax box- as everyone's always saying they're the best- but didn't like the interface at all. Am delighted by the replacement box. It looks as new and works well. Came with all necessary cable but no manual. Available online though, so no problem.. Was delivered quickly too :) Thanks!

This does everything that I want. Records programs; excellent "guide" features; access to "I" players and programs from past week; easy to navigate all features. For a "Silver Surfer" this is excellent.

Excellent bit of kit, bought 2nd hand for a song. Halved my Virgin package contract. Easy to use and great interface. Small box, great result.
